Misaligned body panels and dents, WHAT TO DO

[Dude]

At some point before the car was mine it was in some sort of low speed front end accident. No real damage but the front fenders/hood/grill are either bend or missaligned. The hood was replaced but it cant line up becuase the front fenders are bent inwards. It looks like I need the whole replacement front end.

What do you guys make of this?

ehh to make it all straight it would take a decent amount of work

But what about just replacing the entire front end.

But what about just replacing the entire front end.

Even when replacing the whole front end with new "used" parts, you can't expect everything to line up perfectly.

But those parts wouldnt be dented and bent.

Its going to be hard to get everything to line up properly with that bent up core support. First you would need to cut out and replace that.

I was under the impression you could unbolt all that shit? no?

[Danny]

No lol. Cut and weld.

I NEED MOAR INFO. If I replace the fenders and do some hammer work could i make it better?

[Scallywagon]

I'm kind of in the same market, I guess we're looking for new front clips, and that means a lot of welding.

I know such a thing as frame work exists to straighten out frames, this might be enough for me, a new fender, new front everything, and some frame guy to do my pass bumper shock area and my pass core support area.

Can we just go to a junk yard with a sawsall or plasma cutter and snake that left side of core support off of another car, then have it patched on?



I know this car can be brought back from the dead, the damage isn't that bad under the body panels, and the core support is the only real issue on the chassis, besides a slight bend in the frame rail that held the fiberbump

[Dude]

Its just such ashame for my car becuase the everything else is really clean and in good condition
