Hit Parking pole, need help with parts

Yup...i know. Partially my fault....but the damn thing was in the middle of the entrance for no reason, so i wasnt paying attention. It jacked up everything in the front nose...so i need to know where to get replacement parts. My Be-Cool radiator was also bent....it doesnt looked super bad. Can they be fixed? How much for a new one? How much for a new AC cooler that sits in front of the radiator?

Anyone? I call all of these places and no one seems to know jack about these cars or my application. If I can't get any info, look for me to post in parts for trade, because I'll sell all the goodies off this thing, sell the car, and go back to german cars.

Sorry to hear that.
I have had very good luck getting replacement type parts from board member BWEAVY. Do a search of his name and send him an e-mail. I have also had good luck with replacement parts from Postons.

Yea...it happens. Seems like its my luck with cars (I always have some freak accident........my 944 turbo was hit by a drunk driver when i was driving and spun me around.). I dont know if i should go to fiberglass for the front bumper to save weight, etc? I was also either considering parting it out and returning it to stock....or going all out and doing a custom leather interior, re-clearcoating the paint and making it look sweet, etc. I basically just dont wanna lose my ass on this thing if i ever decide to sell it. what do you think would be best for resale (I will definately be doing alcohol injection and tuning it==really fast on pump gas!).
