Hey guys,

Crashed my car this morning, hit a patch of black ice and slid into the guy in front of my. Wondering if you guys could help me out. Posted a WTB with little responce. Need a rad support, radiator, bumper, hood, grille, fender, and headlight. Any help would be appreciated!!!

 

Junkyard is your best friend

 

http://WWW.PARTSCHANNEL.COM has all the body parts you need, when i wrecked my old dx i picked up my parts through them...

the hood was 90 bucks, fenders 38 each, core support 45, bumper cover was like 50, it was really cheap, then headlights and what not i bought off here, it was the cheapest place i could find.

 

if youve always wanted to get a front end conversion, now is the time

 

I would call for the best prices and if they have what you want just take the whole front clip.

oh yeah its winter time, so watch out for ice..

hope my warning isnt too late.

but this isnt supposed to be in this forum.

check out your local junkyard and im sure you can get one

 

thanx for the input. all help is appreciated. lookin into gettin the whole thing in one piece. that would be ideal. makin progress on the tear down. here's some pics







So a little coolant also leaked out of the car at the scene of the accident. I thougth at first my whole radiator was bent and cracked, but it turns out it was just this little nipple at the top that broke off. Wondering if that could by jb welded back on to hold any sort of pressure? Or am i better off just getting a new radiator for everything else.

For the time being, sure. For a long term fix, no way.

A repacement OEM radiator should run you between 100$ and $150 new, so its not that bad.

 

Wow thats alot of damage. you could prob find the lights and rad on here. Junkyard is a good place to find fenders and some of that other stuff.

 

how fast you think you were going, with a corner shot like that frame tweaked prolly occured

 

yeah i've called around quite a few junkyards in my area. It just sucks cuase they have no social skills at all, and usually just have domestic **** around here. think i mighta found a hood for cheap though

 

what does the other car look like and what kind was it?

 

was a subaru legacy wagon. minor scratches on their rear left corner, but no dents or anything.

and get this, some kid with only his permit was drivin, so we just eschanged info and he wanted to leave before any cops showed up. not that i minded, for all i know i woulda got a ticket.

so his mom calls me tonight and we come to the agreement that nobody needs to know what happened. hell yeah!!

oh yeah, and i'm having trouble findin a bumper support bar. anyone know anyone??

thanx!!

 

hahah, i got the whole front for you. someone rear end me. im located in ontario,ca

 

i'm having trouble getting the radiator support off. is it welded on?

 

Yes spot welded. Not like and old chevy where you can just unbolt it. All of the spot welds have to be drilled out and the new peice has to be welded in.

 

that is not what i wanted to hear. so basically this is not something i can do in my garage with my rather basic toolkit??

 

If you were interested in it previously, I'd say screw going back to 1996-98 front end and put out a search for 1999-00 front end. Especially considering you're going to have to replace the radiator support, it's not necessary for the change, but may as well since it needs replacing.

Radiators are relatively inexpensive from what I have seen, just get one that still looks good inside.

 

just drill out all the spot welds. and weld the new one back on. If your (fender supports?) dont line up you have to get it adjusted somewhere.

I changed out mine in my garage.

 

I have a coupe grill that you can take off my hands for $30 shipped if you're interested. I'm still a trial member, but if you email me, we can make it happen.

 

why would you suggest converting to the new front end??

are there any advantages to this or you just think everyone should cuz you like it better?

At least learn to read with comprehension, before you go trying to spit in the hand of the person looking to help you. "If you were interested in it previously.." Guess that was harder for you to understand than it was for me to understand,"Any help would be appreciated!!!"
