Advice for fixing front-end?
check around at a few shops,its hard to tell exactly how bad it is in the pics,could be about right,frame time is a little higher than body n paint rates,just make sure the shop you use has a good rep.,you can negotiate the price most of the time,cause they want your buisness now n in the future,the quote i told you was based on minor pull.if you feel comfortable with that shop call em and ask if they could come down on the price and always check around.

I would definately check around seems pricey for just a slight tweak on the framerail. They have a machine they stick it up on-it isn't as much work from the pics as that price seems to me I have a good friend who owns a body shop and have watched them work on one before.
Yeah i thought so, and there "rep" is hit and miss mainly. People saying ++++ stuff and another furious about there business with them.

Ill update tomorrow
So i got a call Tuesday night with a guy saying he had a front end, i was skeptical because out of the 10+ people that have contacted me with one, I end up going out to look and its straight up trashed.
Gave it one more chance and drove about an hour away, and amazingly find a NBM front clip (mostly) sitting in a pile of metal. I snag it up for $200 and was on my way! Got it home, sanded all the the rust spots off with some 50grit and hit it up with some Rustoleum.
Going to do a light re-sand with some higher grit and 1 more coat once it dries. Hauling it to the body shop where my car is at afterwards. Hopefully she'll be back on the road within a few weeks
