I think your best bet will be to call Marc at Vettenuts like MAC5 suggested. He gets cars in all the time that have been punched in the nose so he may have some of the small hardware items and bracketry that are salvageable.

Thanks but I got some from a 98 cadi eldorado. I forgot to update that. They apparently use the same c5 headlight. Even use goldenrods with metal gears. They're a bit shorter though and gears seem larger.
