(That headlight came apart in pieces...total goner. Oddly, all three bulbs survived intact.)


Looks as if the bushing deformed, but I think the subframe is actually fine. Have to take off the A-arm (or at least the alignment bolts) to know for sure.

Surprisingly little if any damage to the bumper core support:

Got the bumper and the good headlight off:

Here's what the good corner looks like:

Compare to the damaged corner:

This seems to be the extent of the damage.


While the nose of the apron panel should be able to be straightened, I'm not sure about getting the bottom end of that headlight mount straightened back out (and it'd have to be to get the little retainer rod on the back of the headlight to sit correctly in its receptacle).


Next thing to come off: the driver's side fender and the bumper cap.
