Pics of my game of chicken with a deer

Needless to say my fender suffered casualty... Can't afford insurance right now so fender is going to have to go unfixed for some time...
Deer got up and ran away (Only hit its back legs) but the damage was done....
(40-50' marks)

goto http://www.autobodypartsonline.com/ and buy yourself a fender for 34 bucks and put it on. Then when you have some cash, take it off and get it painted at a reputable body shop for like 80 bucks and your good as new

The trick will be...
The trick will be finding the fender that goes with my car... The 94 GLXs had the castle in the fender.

I'll have to give them a call to see if they have the right part, but you can't beat $40 for a good part!!!!

If you can spare a bit more cash, you can get the euro fenders with the OVAL sidemarkers, they are fairly rare overseas and VERY rare over here.. Momentum can get em now, can't remember how much.. I tried to get em 6 months ago but was told no can do

I'd have to replace both sides.... Blech, this route may be cheaper... I mean, one fender is like $30, the paint is going to be the PITA tho... Maybe I'll go to a vocational school pay my $90, and learn how to paint... Then go borrow some tools and re-spray myself

hahahaha Whatever... This whole thing just sucks.. I totally don't want to call the insurance company, they are just itching for another reason to jack up my already expensive insurance!!!

Re: Pics of my game of chicken with a deer (Wholsea)
my friend had the EXACT same damage to his 95 golf from a deer 2 weeks after he got his license (well he's a moron and has a lead foot

).
anyway, his dad owns a body shop and he just banged it out. Try getting a rubber hammer and doing it yourself (hey its worth a shot-its free) you can return the hammer to the store later.
Theres also a tool like a reverse sledge, that might be useful. (i can't remember the name). You drill a hole in the panel, put it in and pull.
Do a search on the net on metalworking tips.
