How bad is the damage?

[Idealsupra]

Anyone who is good with body work im particularly interested in the state of the radiator support. It seems to be moved up a bit. The rest seems to be just body panels and the car drives fine. I was mainly looking for people who have experience with bent frames etc..... am i paranoid and this is easily bang-out-able or is this radiator support an issue?

I still have no idea what happened. My car is taking a real beating lately and for no damn reason. Im just hoping this is savable. I already have all necessary body panels lined up.

I just about nailed someone in that same spot the other day.
You don't know how it got damaged?

guessing he walked up to it after being parked, and it was like that, happened to my bro twice, with this SC300..

honestly doesn't look too bad, if you just replaced the parts, looks like it'd be slightly crooked, but I'm no expert..

hopefully it can be pounded out with a mallet...

no i was driving about 40mph on the highway with it raining and the next thing i know im doing a 360 into a guard rail...no idea what happened though.

Don't worry about a thing all you need is a few new parts.My car got hit there even harder and it was fine.good luck sorry about the car

Yeah that is nothing more that cosmetic damage. dont sweat it. Get all the auxillary parts off surround the core support items and see how close it is. odds are very good you could realign it with a mallet.

I have an extra headlamp assembly if you're in need. Just pay for the shipping and it's your. PM me if you need it.

I've rebuilt one Supra that had worse front end damage and I'd just reccomend replacing the core support and the other sheetmetal that has been or likely was affected (you probably can't tell until you try to get your nice lines back)

Here's the one I did:

Wtf? I thought the interstates were always dry even when it rains in FL? Anyone who's lived in FL for more than a year knows that

damn man that sucks.. I really dont see anything in the pics.. if there is anything its very minor and you wont have any issues with it imo..

I'll take those 1/2 clears though you'll want new ones.. $5
