Aftermarket does not make a new replacement core support at this time. Your going to have to find a used one from a doner car which will be hard to do in spain

Re: Looking for a firebird 1992 Radiator Core Support

Unless you have to pass a strict visual vehicle safety inspection I would look into having a shop make you one out of tubing. Lots of drag strip and autocross guys on here have done it so it is completely doable. I have never done it so I cannot attest to the safety aspect of it as the government may be concerned. I would venture a guess that done correctly it would be stronger than the stock many times over. If you found a donor car's core support in the states and had it shipped over I would think you would have $500 wrapped up in it. No idea about welding shop rates in spain but over here $500 can get you one built. Can you post a picture of the damage?
