I chalked it up as a loss and set it aside for the last few weeks. I bought a '05 Focus to use as a commuter in the mean time.
I tinkered with the HHR today and was able to bend the front frame rails close enough for my tastes. So, I'm wondering if it's not a total loss.
All it really needs to be road worthy is a radiator, fan, and a headlight. I even had an old Cobalt bumper laying around and threw it on to see if it was close to fitting (It's the same platform as the Cobalt anyway). Joking aside...it might be worth it, as a cheap fix.
It might not be a loss afterall...It runs just fine, save for needing a radiator and serp belt.
