Hi my name is Jeremy I'm 21 I have a 97 Ranger XLT automatic 2.3L, which a deer destroyed the front end of lastnight. I was doin about 75-80 and all of the sudden it was there, front end is pretty ugly but I want to fix it up.

Here is the damage... Any suggestions?

You know what the sick part is, the bumper an hood almost look like for the time being you could reuse them to keep the cost down. It's looking like core support, header panel, headlights, grille and bumper brackets at the bare minimum. You could pick up a lot of that stuff from a junkyard. I'd probably get a new core support because it will be guaranteed not to have any rust and would save you a lot of work.

Is the rad OK?

no the radiator and a/c condinser (SP) are toast....

Damn that hikes it up quite a bit. It will take some work but I'm sure you could have it fixed right up nicely in no time.
