Default Well $!&#%!

A couple of girls pulled out in front of me in their $300 pontiac pos and I smacked them good.

Now my Front passenger side is toast and it is limping along. This really sucks I hope everyone is doing better than myself.

I drove the car today and it starts up but feels like I broke an engine mount. Once I get going a little bit it evens out and drives just fine.

Any ideas what I could check to see if I can salvage my baby?

I'm going to try and get a fender and a passenger headlight because I have no turn signals.

Thanks all!
93 GS300

Thanks all for the nice thoughts.

The parts I need so far are the passenger headlight assy. Plastic Engine Bay fan because one blade ripped off. And a passenger (right) side fender.

I am going to hit the yards and see what I can dig up.

Default better

Turns out a missing fan blade can cause quite a lot of shake. And I mean a lot! Found a used one at the yard and it's running just like before which is good news.

I also found a solid fender and front bumper to replace. I may go ahead and get the hood for $50 just to finish my GS of many colors.

Feeling much better today.

Thanks for the kind replies everyone.
