97 Skylark
Hi all,
A friend of mine has had a 97 Buick skylark in his garage for a few years with front end damage from a minor accident. I have a few weeks off and offered to help out. The hood, left fender, headlight assembly, bumper and grill need replacing. Doesn't seem to be too difficult, just bolt on parts. However it looks like the left ft crumple zone is pushed in a couple of inches to where the ran is almost touching the engine on the left side. The big question... Is this a complicated or unusually expensive repair to pull out or replace the front and side brace .
I'd appreciate any advice before I make and grand promises. PS I got it started and drove it around. Runs great. purrs like a kitten. 50,000 miles on the OD (Mom car)
