That sucks but from expierence that is not 6k in damage if you do it yourself...When i got in my accident I screwed up my header panel, both headlights, hood and that was pretty much it...At the same time when i bought the car the fender was a little screwed up and I also replace that. I got the header panel for $100 or so, headlights for like $80 or $90, hood was like $635 with tax (Cervinis + they are in NJ), fender was like $120 shipped...Then I got my whole entire car painted for $1500...The airbags i did it the cheap way. Our steering wheel style airbags come in other ford cars such as tauras and escorts. So I found and escort took its module, sensors and driver side airbag from the junkyard for $100 on a side impacted car...I then had to modify the bracket for the module and the airbag sensor modules to fit right. for the passenger side I ripped the airbag out and took the cover off of it (drilling out all the pop rivets) I then super glued the cover back together identically and repainted it the stock color after I knew it would hold. I then glued the cover right over where the airbag normally goes and it looks like I have one...The only thing is you wont have a working passenger airbag so tell people to buckle up. It also takes about a whole day to do...just make sure you have a buddy.
