    fromt end body damage repair

    So I have been in 2 fender benders now and my front end is a little damaged. The wall that the right headlight "thing" is bolted to is bent backwards so the headlight "thing" is not completely bolted down and the hood does not latch down properly and I have to tie it down. And now my hood is damaged from flying up on the freeway and hitting the bike rack. So my question is how would I be able to fix that wall so everything works right. I don't have any money to spend for a shop to do the job so I have to try and do it myself.

    if it's just to get it functional (as opposed to getting it mint looking), a mallet works fine for whacking everything straight enough so it all works properly
