Default Fiesta MK5 Zetec S Crash Rebuild!!

Hey guys! New to PF, long time readrer, first time poster!

Ive recently bumped my Fiesta Zetec S MK5. She was my pide and joy! Nothing really special, few mods here and there but a really pretty looking car!

I was driving to work one morning, down some farm lanes. Knowing that my ABS sensor was nackard, i was taking it quite easy as it was wet and greasy! I braked into a corner, lcok went my wheels and smash into a banking i went! Not happy!!

Anyway, got my car into the garage, pried the bonnet open to find a catalogue of issues!! Engine is fine and it still drives well! however... body is foooked!! heres a breief lost of whats wrong:

Lower slam panel - Nackard
Upper Slam Panel (with bonet latch) - Nackard
Bonet latch - Nackard
Passenger Side EHadlight - Smashed
Bonet - Nackard
Radiator - Nackard
Fan - Nackard
A/C Rad - Nackard
Passenger side Chassis fork - Kinked

I know some people who can straighten my chassis so im not too bothered about that. Ive cut my slam panel off so there is literally NO front end on my car!

I will post some pictures of it when i get the chance.

Basically want to know if its is easy to get hold of a slam panel for my fezzi, and how easy itis to fit?

Be gratefull for any replies!

Cheers Guys!
