Is there any ';car smart'; people who has some advice?

A couple months ago I got into an accident. Not a bad one. The most of the damage is on my front bumper, driver side.





The steel beam in front of the radiator has now bent in. It is less than an inch from touching my radiator. Yes, it was a close one.





Anyway, I do not want to put out hundreds of dollars for it to be fixed.





I want to take the bumper off and rig it back onto my car.





I was thinking getting a power drill, something to fasten the bumper back on with, and some kind of lubricant or spray that will prevent any rusting.





Any suggestions on anything at all with this project of mine?





Certain products?


Certain things I should look out for or do?


Is there anything, I myself, can do about the steel beam?





Thanks.Is there any ';car smart'; people who has some advice?
you could go to the junk yard and see if you can get one off another car and replace yours. Otherwise I don't think there is much you can do about bent steel on your car.Is there any ';car smart'; people who has some advice?
Without knowing what type of car you are typing about, The only thing I can render to you is any unpainted metal that is exposed to the air must be painted, not lubricated.
tie it to the bottom of a lamp post by a thick rope or chain...and reverse back hard...that will pull it out...honestly!
