OK finally got around to having a good look at the damage to the front of the car and I'm no panelbeater but it looks like it shouldn't be too much work - does anyone have a bit of experience with body work to tell me if this is going to be a major one or if it'll all pull out pretty easily? Just want an idea when I rock up to the panelbeaters.
Guard is just a bit bent so that'll be fine:

Hopefully the bumper can be bent straight. There is a small tear in the metal on one support. No chassis involvement whatsoever.
If any of you have had similar repairs done or even work in the industry I'd be grateful for your opinions!
Cheers

Had similar fixed on my Starion 3 times. (don't let females near them)
Very similar damage although once I bought a brand new guard. Spent about a grand (cash job)
Strong cars, I once did major damage to a late Primera (his fault) but still have my original bumper, front panel, driving lights and bonnet.

that reo is fixable, i have had was worse ones pulled straight here. also the nose panel is easy done, ditto that vertical support for the headlight mechanism that's spot welded to the rad support, a lazy panel beater will request a new one, but a good panelbeater will be able to pull it out straight as. its worth keeping the original if u can..
