Well, my frontend came today, you can read all about it here

and I would like to try to unweld the jdm rad support. Alot of people told me about drilling welds, does that means I just drill a hole right through any spot welds I see? If I do all that, will the rad just fall off? Thanks

 

Maybe not fall of, but yes that is all you have to do. Once you are sure they are all off, just take your time and gently pull it off, dont go ripping and pulling on it. Also, dont use just a normal drill bit...buy a spot weld bit. Most of your auto body paint/supply stores will carry them. They are designed to only drill through the top weld, not the one underneath of it..
GOOD LUCK!

How much are these Spot Weld? If it's under $100, I'll buy it right away tomorrow morning.

 

or you can use an air chisel to separate the body parts at the spot welds.

 

listen to blueoval...hes on teh right course....i worked at a bodyshop for 7 years...have done a few rhd conversions and also jdm itr frontend conversions and some others......Take your time and look for the spot welds..it will come apart and youll start getting better at it...if you need help hit me up and ill walk you through it..

 

be sure to keep your drill bit oiled...or you'll burn it up in no time...try not to drill further than the top panel too...that'll be more work for you to repair later on...You might want to get a hammer/chisel to help get the spot welds apart too...some may come apart easily..and some might be a b*tch...whatever happens.. you can always use a hammer and dolly to straighten out the rails..just try not to tear EVERYTHING up....Good luck..!

 

I know its an old post but I might be able to use this later on
