Ok, well my bumper fell off lol and when I looked behind it that metal bar was only bolted on one side because what I think is my car radiator support lol idk its messed up...I have some pictures of it.

Also, zip ties...will they work for the time being until i get new clips for the bumper lol that's why the bumper fell off because it was missing the clips holding it on..but yeah

 

Woooooow. Looks like it got hit pretty hard. that's probably in need of a new radiator core support...

 

bahahaha you can bend the radiator support back into place with an upscale hammer and a little creativity :P EDIT Its done for lol you need a new radiator support... i didnt look hard enought at the pictures at first..

its definately been in a wreck and got hit on the passenger fender by the looks of it...

 

yeah i got it as a gift from my parents. With a new radiator support i would have to cut it off and wield it back on?

 

not necessarily cut it off; it should just have spot-welds holding it on (probably a lot of them, too). You can get a spot weld cutter for a drill and drill out the spot welds nice and cleanly, then spot-weld the new core support back in place.

Here's what i'm talking about with the spot weld cutter:


Drill a 1/8" pilot hole down through the center of the spot weld, the put the needle guide down through the hole and go to town; it cuts the spot weld out perfectly (also, try not to drill a hole through the underlying metal; you just want to take the weld itself off). Then, use a chisel to separate the pieces of metal and you're done

 

ahh ok ty for that!

Sounds like I have some work to do..

 

ha well i've decided that my car is not worth fixing now. Just have to use it till i get a new car

 

? Whats wrong with the car?

 

The radiator support is messed up and so is the frame...

 

Unless the frame is FUBAR, it can be pulled out by a body shop that knows what they're doing (and has a frame puller) no problem. And the radiator support would take an afternoon for a novice to fix.
