haha i just called, about $150 to weld... 600 if i want my hood/fenders/bumper on, otherwise i have to trailer it out of there

 

so 150 to weld on the parts? and 450 to put on the body parts? if so, throw the parts in a truck, when theyre done welding go to a parking lot next door and install the body parts urself. assuming with the welding all done, its a bolt on affair from there

i said screw it and im about to do it myself in an hour or so, i rented a welder from a local place, $30 vs $150 right now im my situation sounds good

 

let me know how that turns out man, im trying so hard right now to find a friend who can help me do it cause shops are charging a lot to install it, i cant even get close to 150 in my area, my shop said 1k to install and paint front end

 

im fittin mine right now, ill let you know

 

UPDATE: i suck *** at welding

 

horrible pic i know

 

looks good, you should of taken pics of the welds

 

how long did it take? everything line up correctly on the first try? t-method?

 

yeah man, everything lined up great.... even with the fiberglass fenders im using (temporary)... first try, i think the t-bar is a way easier way to go than changing the whole thing... all i did was paint over the stock part so i knew exactly where the new one went... the only downfall i had was using an arc welder without any prior experience, but i got the hang of it

 

so all you really had to do was change the top reinforcement area, and use all of the fenders bumpers bumper support hood, etc?

 

i got the parts from paswordJDM.com, its just the top part and the middle part the hood latch bolts to, all the rest of the radiator support is the same

 

you weld yourself? holy hell u are prostatus haha

 

I want to see pics of your welds.

 

how did you get the t section and how big is it? i just got my front end on the 20th and i need some help!!!!!!

 

my welds weren't the prettiest of em all ill try to get some pics up... i got the t-bar from passwordjdm.com, i picked it up since im local i wanna say it was around $220.... i cant remember but its def worth it to go that route

i think i was quoted less than that for the full radiator support

 

the cheapest i found a full brand new one for was 275 but i couldnt pick it up
