Default Hit a fence, front end diagram?

Well, at the last autocross of the season, I spun my tt into a fence. Wish I had a great story to tell, but at 6 seconds into the first run of the day my front tires griped and my rears gave out with no small ferocity.

It could have been much worse. But luckily the fence post hit the side of my front bumper moving everything forward of the radiator 2 inches to the right. No suspension or engine damage. Overall the car held together better than the 6 inch fence post and the foot of 8 inch concrete. Heavy, well built car.

I am currently at a friends garage looking to get my car drivable. After that I can start replacing parts as money becomes available.

To get it street worthy I needed a radiator and radiator support, both of which I have. More importantly, I would love a diagram form the Bentley showing the assembly of the front end. Mostly of the radiator, radiator support, headlights, front fascia... also, my front airbags didn't go off, just the driver's side. Before I wrench around too heavily, are there airbag sensors in the front end anywhere, or are they acceleration sensitive?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

While I am posting, my college had a dyno day. I am unsure if it was a dynojet or mustang dyno but the techs were passionate that the dyno was quite accurate. my stock 225 with 90,000 mi put down 216 hp and 214 lbft with a torque "curve" like a horizontal line.

Yes, I did cry.

Rear sway bars probably wouldn't have helped, front sway bars might have helped but I already understeer enough. Best thing would have been for me to know how to drive my car on cold tires.

Regardless, im still working on it. Rounded off my torx T27 screwdriver trying to get the front quarter panel off. That thing is on there!
