core support
Anyone changed out thier core support after an accident? Just looking for any pics tips or tricks since I need to change mine. Also can it be done without removing the ac condenser. It'd be a shame to loose a full tank of freon to a shop, but if I must I must. Just trying to gather info while I recover from surgery...

Re: core support
Core support, as in the cross brace that attatches to the hood latch mechanism?

Re: core support
You shouldn't have to undo the A/C stuff. When I was taking off the brace that runs from the hood latch mechanism to the bottom of the A/C condensor, I was moving the rad and condensor all over the place. You should just be able to tie them out of the way.
As to take off that top support...Isn't it welded on? Wouldn't you have to find the spot welds and drill them out?

Re: core support
the piece thats totally fubarred!
its pretty well screwed up until the right inner fender. I figure right now I need:
Headlights/markers
Hood
core support
rad support
bumper/lip
right fender(looks fine but its kinda creased
radiator
I can't believe my first pics of my new ride look like this. I'm gonna go post a few in images of the car, lol

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: core support
Also if I could get a few pics of a bare front end (no bumper, fenders, lights, etc) i'd have a better idea of what I have in store. Thanks in advance
