The following pictures are from an 07 XRX; don't know about the E and S module but getting to this point is not that bad. Skis, shocks, a-arms, a few plastic components, the steering, muffler, and can.

The piece in front of the motor (the nun?) was the hardest to install and I would recommend using bolts instead of some of the bigger rivets. Get yourself a good rivet gun (either air or one with long handles) and use
steel rivets where you are supposed to. Most dealers have all the rivets, nuts, bolts and washers already placed in a plastic bag for just this repair.

Like everyone else says, if we saw some pictures of your damage, you could get some get help from some very knowledgeable peeps on this forum.

What Ferniesnow said ^^
I found the hardest part of the whole thing was pulling the motor. (now I seem to know how to do that better than I'd like LOL) The rivets are just a bit of work. Buy/borrow a rivet gun.( I got one:beer:) Bolt the big rivets and put her back to straight. I found a half broke oil cable when I did mine. Glad I caught that! $$$$.

Thanks everyone for all your input, greatly appreciated! Nice when people are willing/trying to help when they don't even know you. Anyways Il get some pictures next time I'm in the shop if they don't start working on it yet. I think I have this problem figured out. I recently just got married may 29th of this year and a few of my buds promised me and my wife full sets of riding gear and one guy... Said he would fix my sled for me ..lol oh man none of us knew just how bad the damage actually was. Anyhow they gave me a call today saying that instead of getting riding gear (my wife isn't crazy bout riding anyhow and I got gear already) they were all gunna pitch in and get my sled fixed. Now talk about a good late wedding present!  so I gave the go ahead to Tom at Motts in St.Albert.see how he does with it.He did my 450r two years ago and did a great job so I'm pretty excited. Anyways guys thanks once again for all your input.
