during the start of this winter, I lost control of my 93 Mazda MX3 at 70 km/h. I slid off the road into the ditch where I believe the light snow there probably slowed my speed. It was after about 30 feet, the driverside fender caught the corner of a rockcut, spinning the car back out to the road. After towing it back to town, in the next few days I examined to find the front bumper shattered and whats directly behind it as well. The side fender is pushed back to rest lightly against that wheel so that the wheel will still turn but with difficulty. What is worse is that the frame has taken damage. The mount on the passanger side for the bumper is bent back and appears to have absorbed the damage there alone, but the front of the frame must have taken a good knock when the car spun. The front frame i-beam is bent inwards dead center where it broke in the radiator with apparently no other damage to the motor. The engine still starts and runs. I LOVE this car tho and its my baby and I'm still paying for it. I dont need it to be pretty right now, just running since its my only transportation. Do you think I should bother and how much it might cost ball park if I do most of the nonframe work myself with scrap dealers parts for now?
