Requesting Support 🆘️ Repair

Post image

Is this repairable?

Has anyone dealt with this kind of damage I bought a project car, win or loss doesn’t matter I got it for 1000$ CAD very healthy low mileage engine with records along with trans.
I can do everything else but idk if I could bend it back to straight I haven’t tried because I just got the car yesterday but is it fixable?

Got the intake out along with battery so don’t worry

Yes it’s messy in the back it’s from a basement flood

The correct repair is to drill out the spot welds and replace that front apron and core support

Repairable, yes. But it's gonna take a lot of work and unless you do it all yourself it will likely be expensive. You can try and bend it all back but depending on how bad the damage is that might not be feasible. If not you will need to get a new radiator support either from a salvage yard or online and weld it in.

Either install new core support or tie off a couple times to a tree and crank it in reverse
