radiator support
i'm just wondering if i can get away with putting one in my self or if its definatly a panel beters job. my missus crashed my vx ss and it now needs only that for a blue slip? welding isn't a problem but i judt dont know if it is worth going to a panel shop
when metal bends, it pulls other metal with it so its usually never as simple as welding a new radiator support panel in without having to straighten other sections as well.
Why does it need a blue slip as well?
is it out of rego?
yeah i lost mi licence about a year ago and if the car had no rego it was less tempting to drive. i just hit a rock and bent it abit but it ripped of on one side, and being an ex chaser i'm prity sure it has been front ended before, got a quote for $1000 including part to put a new one on
post some pics up of the damage.
so its the lower rad support then?
is the reo bent or the condensor, radiator, k frame etc.
dont understand what you meant by ripped it off one side either - pics would help.
i take it you need a new bumper bar and possibly reo as well?
to be honest, without seeing the damage, $1000 isnt too bad considering youll know it will be pulled correctly.
Just realised too, you have the same car as mine.
whats your location?
central coast, copacabana, right on the beach, its good but lots of salty air
i'll take a picture this arvo and put it up for you when you see it you will know what i mean. nothing else is damaged, and yeas i need a front bar but a bloke down the road has a malloo front bar for me for $300 and its a real one so i'm fine for that
a Genuine VX SS bar is a tad under $300 too.
doesnt the Maloo have different lights (probably a dumb question!)
yeah but hes giving them to me with it, they have the flat angle on them insted of the tear drop
thats a good deal then!
should look better anyway.
what are you doing with the old SS head lights?
i have no idea! my mate is doing up a vt and wants a vx front on it so i think i'l probly sell them to him, oh and where is warrnambool? and also the pics of damage
