Auto body repair & detailing/Front Bumper

Question
Hi, My 98 Toyota Tacoma was in an accident on the front passenger side. My father was going to do the labor for me if I was to get the parts for it. I'm sure i could reuse both fog lights and the driver light and turn signal. I know i need a new passenger fender and Light and turn signal. I will also need a bumper and grill. Could you tell me what else I will need to have replaced? Thanks you!

Answer
Elizabeth......the best thing for you to do i sto get a repair estimate from a body shop.
The computerized print out will identify the parts that need replacement as well as the parts
that require repairs.

Then you can see what it would cost for your dad to do. I do know that there will be some of the brackets that will be difficult to  remove due to age on the truck.

Good luck
Mike
