Attempting to fix collision damage myself...

Looking for front drivers side parts:

Teal fender (will accept any color as last resort)

Fender liner

Fender guard (still haven't seen these on any car but my own)

Mud guard

Side view mirror

Lower control arm

Ball joint

Tie rod

Will have to confirm most of this stuff over the weekend, there may end up being more or less parts, but if you have something let me know.

I could do the body parts see attached pic.
If you are traveling through BC at all we could arrange pick-up to avoid shipping cost and hassel. PM to discuss price.

Hate to say it, but I think after shipping gets involved, your best bet is to go with new parts. Iirc, a new fender is around $150 with the other parts each being under $50 for each of them.

The exceptions being, the control arm and side mirror. the ball joints and tie rod ends I would especially replace with new, and not used.

There's no easy way to go, but if I can at least see what people have and what they are offering I can make some comparisons. A new fender will cost me close to $300.

The reason I am not going new on the tie rod and ball joints is because I plan to retire the car soon, but in the meantime I really need to be able to drive it with both wheels pointing the same direction.

I will not be traveling beyond South central Alaska. It's an impossible journey with my car in the condition it's in.

Why would the new fender cost you so much? Couldn't you just walk into your local dealer and purchase it for list price? That's like half of that.

You still have to paint it Teal.

List price in Alaska is higher than the States. That's why I usually go through subaruparts.com. I get it cheaper through them than locally. Their shipping charge to me is something like $118 just for the fender. My local dealer I expect will be higher, as usual...

I took the fender off and it seems there isn't any damage beyond what is obvious.

On a side note, staining the garage concrete orange was an utterly futile endeavor.

IF this is the case, why not remove the fender and beat it straight. And installing used ball joints and tie rods is a recipe for disaster... do it right or park the car now.

I intend to restore the car to a completely mechanically sound condition but the more I spend on this thing the longer it will be before I can get a new car. This accident has already pushed my plans back a full month into mid-summer. Because the A/C was removed I will have to get the windows tinted so that I can survive this little rolling greenhouse. I about succumbed to exhaustion while driving last year. If I'm going to be driving into the summer, I need to replace the bearing so it doesn't explode, and every little thing just continues to extend the time I will be driving the car before I can properly fix it.

I drove the car with bad ball joints for years, and I am driving with a twisted control arm right now. At this point I don't think I need to replace the tie-rod, but if I did given the condition of everything underneath my car I doubt I would be worse off.

As far as the damaged panels, the longer I delay their repair the greater the chance for rust to appear so I would like to get an undamaged fender and have a body shop straighten the door out and blend the paint a bit.
