You can put in a new radiator support and be perfect. I'm doing that on a civic right now. the new part was $70. Remove all of the attachments, drill out spot welds till material seperates, remove old, install new and re-tach weld at the old spot welds, then paint. good as new. I prepainted the support so I only have to touch up at the welds.

well other things got bent when that was bent so I pretty much gotta gwet it straight as possible so other thigns can go into proportion. liek Headlight pod thing, Lower support thing and ofcourse body aligment. can't forget about that. alogn with little here and ther's know what I mean? so I'm better off pulling and stretching THEN replacing

If the body frame is bent I would try to find a really cheap z32 with a straight frame and a blown or no motor. You'll have a front clip anyway. It's hard to get the frame aligned perfectly back to spec. If it were me that's what I would do and salvage what parts you can off your wrecked Z.

all of your lites and stuff are attached to the bent radiator support. the pics I remember seeing didn't show the damage being bad enough to do any structural damage. just tryin' to help.

YUUUUUPPPP, that's the radiator support....... the piece that goes all the way across the front. Just replace it. They're usually only spot welded on.

I wouldn't think it would be much. Any bodyshop should be able to do it. How's the engine pull coming along?
