you have just found your winter project. take the check from the ins. co. and buy the car back. go to local wrecker and buy a complete nose. the yards will often prefer to sell tha whole nose because of the labor involved in pulling each part. this way you will have every nut and bolt you might need. you should be able to do it youself with basic hand tools and common sense. with the left over dough treat the car to a repaint. the downside to repairing it yourself is that it will probably take you a bit longer than a shop, and the car will subsequently have a salvage title, but if you're keeping her for a while that shouldn't matter. good luck!
