i need some tips on welding in a radiator support on a 98
civic hb... should i just attmept to weld the spots from the previous rad support?

i'm trying to have good fitment when all is done... car was backed up on but just pushed in headlight and bent the rad support pretty good.. so i bought a brand new honda one

 

When you take it off you will see paint marks. Those are kindof like guide marks. Easiest way to do it. If you can get a frame chart for your car then get it and use it to take under hood cross measurements to make sure it is square when it is in and it will be in place. Put a tack on each side and put the hood latch in and make sure the hood closes. If it does, weld it all in. Grind your welds down. Clean all your welds front and back, wire brush. Put an acid etch primer on the welds, front and back. Put seam sealer where it needs it and paint. Good luck buddy.

 

i tack welded it in but i think it's still off.. i'll check it tomorrow... i'm kinda drunk... sucks...

 

any other tips?
