hey dudes

So my Civic was my daily up until a couple of months ago when a deer thought it'd be cool to jump directly into it and destroy everything I love. The hood and upper rad support and middle support section are bent in/downward, the radiator and condenser are toast. AND I blew out a brake line trying to stop.

big *** photos under spoiler:

The non-body stuff I'm cool with, but I've never had to do body work before. I know that the rad support is spot welded in and those welds will have to be drilled out with the lil spot weld bits. That's about all I know.



I only purchased the upper rad support and middle portion, but before I go cutting on ****, I was hoping to find more info as to

• where exactly each portions are welded
• if it'll be prohibitively hard to only do portions of the support, or if I should've just purchased the whole thing
• any welding reccs anyone has; my friend will be doing the welding, but like me is also a body work noob

actually, any and all repair advice is welcome. I've had this Civic for 8 years and haven't hit things, so the body was one of the few things left unmolested
