2003 Explorer Body Help?

My wife wrecked our 2003 Explorer Limited. The insurance is totaling it, but I think they way over estimated the damage. I'm going to buy it back and rebuild. I'd like to post some pics of damage and get some opinions on the repair. Is that OK to do on this forum?

I don't see why not. You should come out real nice doing what you say. I have a nice Mustang that's been totaled 3 times. I now have NO money in it, actually I'm several hundred dollars to the good.

Keystone Automotive has a place in Erlanger, about 70 miles from you or you can search Car-Part.com for used parts closer to you.

Thanks... I'll get some pics up and let you guys tell me what to look for. just driver side bumper, corner of hood, headlight assy, front fender messed up. hit a parked vehilcle while sliding through the snow. It broke the fron hub assy where the tie rod bolt goes through. They wrote up, upper control are, lower control arm, well... the whole dang suspension. i don't see the totaling though. It will be a while... snowing like the dickens here!
