well if it hit something on the front that hard...whatelse is misaligned or damaged. is the frame straight? there are so many good solid IS's out there, i wouldnt settle for anthing less than you are comfortable with. if that is all thats wrong with the car..then replace the waterpump and you should be good to go...hopefully.

i did get into a front accident but doesnt look as bad cause he hit someone from behind. front lens cracked and hood bent upward..i guess the main thing would be the pully. ill have to see that in person. thx for the resonse.

3rdelement is right though, there are a lot of good IS's out there with nothing wrong with them for pretty cheap, if i were your i'd do some more looking before settling on something you have to fix day 1...
