If you are not sure how to do these things I WOOD recommend professional help. Fixing cosmetic damage is one thing, but doing this wrong could cause overheating issues etc..

Just read the tree thread. 1) it was hilarious, 2) OP the car looked great in the pic you posted of first getting it (silver). In the pic showing the damage it looks like its time to take it out back and shoot it. And I don't mean because of the accident damage.

Syner is really trying to do you a good turn by posting that link. There's clearly a lot more to properly bleeding the radiator to prevent overheating. I use a specialized funnel to help get it done effectively. Here's a link to the product:
