    For those who have pulled out a core support...

    Is this one doable?



    Closer of the whole front.


    Left side which looks straight to me.


    Right side where the hit to the core support must have taken place. I circled both areas that I think need work.


    Any thoughts?

    First off, you have your left and right mixed up. It looks like you could probably pull that without too much trouble, but if you want to replace the entire core support there is a lot of info about it here and on other forums. Since it looks like the car took from the side at the front of the fender, just make sure the fender itself is straight as well as the area just to the outside of the core support.

      1. Cut out
      2. Get "new" one at junkyard
      3. Make it removable
      4. ???
      5. Profit

        Well I meant left/right viewing from the front. The fender has been parted out already. Oddly enough, the guy I am buying this roller from said that the fender was perfect when he parted it out.

        Either way, I have seen a bunch of core support replacement threads. Shouldn't be too bad if I have to go down that road. Thanks for the post though.

          Ah, I see. Yeah, the process isn't terrible especially with a starting point like that where everything is removed. Just be prepared for the possibility that you might need to spread the area around that bend, otherwise it shouldn't be too tough.

            Yeah, I can see where it is toed in a bit on the "left" corner.

              Make sure the car is on perfectly level ground when you put in the new one
              Drive it hard. Maintain it well.
