Front end accident, bent radiator! Help!

Hello!

My car is overheating after a front end accident. Nothing is leaking, fan seems to be working, but radiator is definitely bent. Is it difficult to replace on my own (not good with cars but have tools). Can I get a new radiator in there without unbending it?

Basically, I am on a very tight budget and if I could get it to where it's not overheating, I could take it home to have a family friend repair it at a much lower cost. Let me know what you think!

You do know that the one in front is the A/C? The bigger one behind it is the radiator..

It is a pretty simple job to get it in and out. Those 2 rubber grommets are basicaslly all that secures it.

I see other structural damage, though.

I honestly didn’t know that. The air conditioning has never worked so I guess that’s okay. Thank you!
