Wow, I smacked up my '85 900T pretty good and fixed it myself. I had to straighten the radiator support and replace the air dam, one headlight, both headlight bezels, the bumper, the oil cooler, it's shroud, the hood, and weld on a new fender. All the part's cost me $128 at the U-pullit except the oil cooler and shroud, which ran $75 from a regular junkyard. I also had to buy a hydraulic ram to straighten everything out. That cost another $200. Now I still need to get the car painted but that can wait till I have more money. If you did not damage the fenders or the radiator support why not buy the parts and install them yourself like I did. I live on LI in NY and could probably fix your car a lot cheaper if you are close. I realize not everyone can weld on body panels, but it was my first time and it came out great. Fortunately, my dad just bought a MIG welder and let me use it. Fix the car or throw a tarp over it and keep it until you can. Good luck, Frank
