Default frame damage on del sol?

i found a del sol for cheap. i was wondering if in the pics it looks like it has frame damage. also can you put on the bumper and headlights with a bent radiator support?

that damage doesnt look that bad to have bad frame damage..if you want to play it safe, take it to a shop and have them put it on a frame machine and double check that its not bent. If it is and its not much they can pull it out. around here its about $40-$45/ hr on the frame machine

when the hood is popped, look along the top of driver's fender for bends or creases in the metal. If its not bent, there is probably no frame damage, and you can replace the radiator support.

Any better pictures? It's hard to make out much detail, but from what I can tell it doesn't look to bad. The upper tie bar (support) looks mostly straight, but the main concern will be the bumper support.

it might have minimal frame damage. you'll have to get it on a machine to find out. looks like about 1 - 2 hours max on a frame machine.

you can bend a radiator support with your hands if you need to. if it's damaged alot then I would replace it, but it's just bent, then bend that **** back.
