The front bumper may be salvageable. My guess is that the front screwpost is cracked and the copper wire is acting like a homemade helicoil.

My gawd. It's been hit in the tail with an HO-scale Scud missile.

The wire is used to keep the hood from flying up when its running around the track...

That copper wire serves as a lightning rod. Obviously installed after the first lightning strike took out the rear end.

Maybe they were playing "beat the ho train" and didn't quite make it?

Hey! It could happen, right? :)
