Default Wrecked my baby, help me find parts.

Short version..

Coming up to a 20 mph turn on a rainy morning, 2 deer ran out.
I slid into a guys yard. He was nice enough to have railroad ties laying along the edge of his yard, so the lower front of my Z is pretty screwed.

Im looking at finding good places to find oem replacement parts(or cheap aftermarket) to assist my mechanic in the rebuild.

located in eastern panhandle of WV between Md. and Va. about 1H15Min from DC/Baltimore....


1) On the driver side the steering knuckle (?) is broken where the LCA attaches at the ball joint.

2) The passenger front wheel is pushed back a few inches. Im not sure what all is going to be needing replaced

3) Radiator and support and plastics need replaced...also what im assuming is the oil coolor is hanging there.

4) Front bumper, pass. sideskirt, and both front fenders...looking at getting a nice body kit,any suggestions that arent too expensive?

5) Lastly the pass. curtain airbag went off as well as the pass. seat side airbag. I plan on just replacing the seats with corbeau.

* is it necessary to replace the passenger curtain airbag??? I'll be getting bucket seats with harnesses...and you can pass inspection around here if you have a horn and headlights.

Any info on where to find any of these parts online would be greatly appreciated.

I just dropped it off at this garage and he's going to get it up and try to get me a parts list by Tuesday the 26th.

Please Dont ask about insurance as it's a long story and it will only make me cry

Thank you guys/gals!!!!!!

Rob

My policy was at 6 month renewal. Required an additional payment. They have my info mixed up with another guy in same state with same name. Never got notice that i needed to pay. Policy cancelled. Never got notice of cancellation as they were sending my paperwork to his address. Driving around car without insurance. Car wrecked. Nationwide denies claim. Nationwide keeps dicking me and never returns any of my calls. If I dont hear anything this week, getting a lawyer. I need to get the car running.

Took the car to a local mechanic that my dad deals with. He does everything but is a good body guy too. I told him to just see what it would look like price wise to get the car mechanically sound, as I may be just getting a kit and CF hood.
