Hello guys, first post here. I have a buddy who has a 97 Accord SE, he recently rear ended a guy and cumpled the front end of his car in.

I took all the damaged panels off (somehow the fenders didn't even get scratched!) and the damage wasn't that bad to the radiator support. Mainly just the top that runs in front of the radiator was smushed in pretty good, and the rails that run vertically in front of the side of the rad were pushed back.

I am debating how much time and money we want to throw at this car, but I found I can get a new rad support bracket for $50. (partstrain.com along with the rest of the body panels I am getting) The only problem is its obviously pinch welded all over the place.

Does anyone have a diagram or anything or where all the pinch welds are? It would save me a boatload of time searching for all of them. As it sits now I have the top piece off and I am debating weather I should just straighten or replace just that one chunk. The vertical rails bent back pretty easy, but you can still tell the front is a tad crooked. I would like to replace the whole thing and just call it done, and do it the right way.
