Oh that's just a piece of folded sheet metal that you can pull out of a junkyard for some dollars. It bolts right back on. Just make sure there's no unibody damage and you're good to go.

Odd, I have a standing offer at $1000. It's $1800 blue book in fair condition, which is the condition it's in right now..

well if you don't care about the XJ then sell...
Honestly, getting it fixed back up should just be a days worth of work. If you're lucky get one with the same color at the junk yard and then there is no cost for paint

Fair condition implies scratches and maybe small dents. That by know means will buff out. On the other hand where are you located? Ill take it off your hands

Fair:
18% of all cars we value meet this criteria. This car has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing, but is still in safe running condition and has a clean title history. The paint, body and/or interior may need professional servicing. The tires may need replacing and there may be some repairable rust damage.

I don't get where you see that means it just has scratches that will buff out, I can't believe you think some scratches is the definition of fair condition. My truck is still in safe running condition, it just needs a few front end parts.

That is not in fair condition
That's a write off but - as has been said - as long as the unibody is straight you're only looking at bolt on parts to fix it all up. Did you have a transmission cooler?

Oh, and I saved the Deer:

He was delicious.
He'll yes it wasn't a complete loss!

It still runs and shifts and if there's no damage to the unibody, as you said it's only bolt on parts, that's fair condition if you ask me, it needs servicing of cosmetic parts and may need mechanical servicing just as the fair description states

Get your *** to the junkyard and pull some parts off of a doner. It might cost you a few hundred at most. Plus you can look for a used badass bumper here online to upgrade to. Don't be a pansy. Where are you located because if you're close I'll buy the thing and do it myself or even help you if you wanted.
