Default Radiator support question

Well, thinking about getting this 94 DC Integra for really cheap, but the radiator support is bent from the bottom. It's enough to where they used tap screws to bolt the bumper down. I'll probably pick it up because its so cheap.

I've never done a radiator support swap but I've been reading alot about it and got all the tools to do one. I was just wondering what suggestions people had about doing one. Aligning hood fenders? Where all the welds are to drill out and weld back. I'm trying to get all the info I need to make the swap as smooth as possible.

take it to a body shop, if you have never done one don't try with out professional help!!! i can guarantee you don't have all the tools, do you have an air drill with an 1/8 in bit and a spot well bit, or an air hammer, what about air punch, tram Gage ect......if you do have these tools.... then have fun, but you will have alignment problems!!!!!!

best bet if the car is soo cheap then take it to a body shop to get it done right and be in the car right $$$ wise!! and it will look right!!!!!

just my 2 cents, BTW i work in a body shop and done countless core supports..
