Default Re: 2nd wreck in 3 months, SRT Totaled

Well I drove it home in the most illegal way possible, No tags, registration/inspection, and insurance that went in effect the next day. But I made it home. About 55 Miles from the Copart yard. Started to overheat in stop and go traffic, so I had to turn on the heater to max (in 104F temps) and pull into a gas station.

Basically the radiator support was pushed in, which prevented the e-fan from spinning. after removing everything the A/C seems to be working fine but would get overwhelmed without an E-Fan and cut on/off on the way home.
The waldig is fine! No issues there, but the Radiator behind it is bent and will need to be replaced.
The passenger Headlight rear housing was broken and cracked. Could probably ghetto rig it and use some adhesive or putty. But I'll just replace it. Looks like around $270 for a bad quality one. $350 for a nice one without a ton of oxidation.
Purchased the entire Front Clip, Pump, hoses, Radiator, E-Fan, harness and wiring from a seller on Ebay. Was able to Haggle down an extra $200.
there's a 90 degree bend on the needs wings DCAI that's bent, and the two filters that will need to be replaced. Bumper can likely be salvaged.

Will shop around for a hood in a bit, but I'm probably not even going to think this will be done until closer to winter. cutting the welds off the front, and attaching up the new one will take a lot of time and energy and it's 104 so I'm not doing that right now lol.
