Good advice on the a/c coil, I will see if I have a problem on that and if I do likely go to a pro. I am doing the repairs myself; the parts are around $500 not including the bumper. Wanted to upgrade to a different bumper anyway so I am going to take my time on that; going to look at a good epoxy to glue it back together in the short term. As far as insurance I leave those mates alone as much as possible. This is my daily driver so I have learned to not get to upset about blemishes.

I ran over Rocky Raccoon last night...cousins are coming over for BBQ today...JK
The new bumper and right air scoop replacement is no big deal. But the condenser is bent at the bottom and the radiator is leaking. The mounting frame for the radiator is bent back and will need to be replaced.
1. It seems that the condenser comes off easy enough…two screws, but my system is still charged; what do you recommend here? Just take it apart carefully and then get the system recharged later. I saw a post that talked about "rivet pins", any clue what those are? If the condenser were not leaking would you not replace this part?
2. From the third radiator DIY the radiator replacement seems straightforward. After disconnecting the hoses just remove the radiator frame with the radiator and fan still mounted to it in my case, do you agree? Any words of wisdom, am I heading down the right path?
3. I have already lost some radiator fluid. After replacing the radiator it seems that the bleeder value approach should work to get the air out?
Many thanks.

I bought a fiberglass repair kit and patched things up on the backside of bumper, everything seems to be fine. I'm all put back together and ready to drive. Thanks for the advice.
