    My 87 accord rides on coilovers and is lowered about 1 and a half
    inches. I hit a SUV. My car hit the rear of the SUV. It went in under
    the bumper of the SUV. The radiator and front frame section including
    the frame housing for the headlamps (3rd generation had hidden
    headlamps) was pushed back. I'm looking for opinions on the work
    required to fix. Any one have an idea on fixing it? Would it be possible
    to have it pulled back into correct shape. How does unibody damage get
    fixed? Thanks for any ideas.

    I worked on several minor damages like this and all I need was a
    jack and a hammer. The Japanese made efficient use of steel. Try
    hammering those thick steel frames on Fords, Chryslers or BMWs.
