Question
I have a 1985 mustang 5.0 i crashed it from the front bumber cracked the frame,and where i place the battery is bent and rubing against the tire.can i get a estimate on how much it will cost me.

Answer
Without seeing the car I can really only ballpark.How much sheetmetal damage is there etc.To be safe I believe the whole rail needs to be replaced.There may be possibility that the rail could be sectioned in which case the engine could stay in the car.Best guess is you are in the $3000 to $4000 range
