About 6 months ago I put a little too much Gas on it when I was coming around a corner, the road was wet, my suspension is the stock 1974 Duster springs(complete with sagging back end) so I started to slide. I over corrected just before catching traction and ended up nose first in the ditch. Lucky for both me and the Car this ditch was mostly a flat spot 3 feet down from the road so I was able to drive out of it without needing to be towed or pulled. I drove her to the nearest auto parts store and surveyed the damage as best I could.
I came down pretty hard on the Drivers side or the bumper got a nice Dent ruined the airbag(not quite sure what it is called) for the front bumper and bent a bit of the inside. she still ran with the exception of a whole in the radiator and some twisted Upper Control arms other then that she was fine.
Or atleast that was what I thought. I was unable to do much with her until the snow melted last month, I ordered a new Radiator after I saved up enough money, and am currently saving up for new Upper control arms. I recently attempted to swap out the old radiator for the new one, after getting the old one out I noticed how badly the incident had bent up the inside.
The Pictures I will be adding are of my car and I will need help on how to properly fix it. Keep in mind I will be working outside and have little resources/money. I have been told a quick fix would be a lot of time spent with a hammer and pliers, to which I cringed at the thought of hitting the problem until it is fixed. So I am here to get some more knowledgeable opinions on the subject.
