hey, well last night i thought my baby was done, i was driving along and the light just turned yellow and the guy ahead of me decided to stop, so i had to stop in a hurry and lets say my front end is F*****… my car is a grey 1990 with pignose front, would like to stay pignose but if someones got a 91 i’ll take it, i need :
Grey or black is prefered, but open to other colours…
Front bumper…
Drivers side fender …
Hood…
Drivers side Headlight unit(whole assembly) with cover
…
I can’t get the hood open but i can look under the hood because its crushed so much and it looks fine, but the front bar that goes across the top of the bumper is screwed so one of those too…
This really sucks ass cuz i just basically got my Sr in and now its off the road again…
Thanks in ahead for anyone who can help get my baby back on the road…
about the rad support (bar that goes across the top), is that easily replaceable? because mine is just abit bent up and i was wondering if it can be straightened or replaced by just bolting on a new one?
The rad support has to be cut out and have a new one welded in. I recommend buying a rad support that hasn’t been cut in half like some I’ve seen for sale. I bought a brand new rad support from Nissan for my own car and it cost around $450. Also, remove your front bumper and inspect to see if your front end retainers are still intact and good. These pieces can be bought from Nissan ranging from $20-$80 if they need to be replaced. You should also check to see if the rail that your fender sits on is still straight. If it’s bent it may need to be cut open, banged out straight and then welded shut. BTW this stuff only applies to you if you have more than just body panel damage. If everything is still straight and in tact just bolt up some new body panels and you’re good to go.
yeah it really sucks, i’ve got everything i need except the drivers side fender, not sure about rad suppport im goin to try and bang it out, but as for anything else i still have to take off the body parts to get a good look at the inside, but once i do i’ll post up the results…
okay i need a new rad, its cracked all along the top, the rad support is bent and damaged but still goin to attempt to bend out… i’d prefer an sr20 rad because i have the hoses routed that way already, or i could just use my ka rad but then i’ve got those hoses unning from side to side…
also the front rebar(im guessing on this) broke apart from the frame, am i able to just weld it back to it or do i need a new one???
