Driving home from school and coming to a red light right after it was down pouring was 4 car lengths behind the car that was at the light and I go to brake and its not stopping as fast as it normaly would cause it was wet I was only doing about 25-30 I apply more brake and it starts to slide and I rear end them doing about 15 caved in my core support on passenger side and I dont have a welder or any
thing to fix it
sucks to hear, the crash's impact could have traveled farther than just the radiator support. look at your roof line and where the roof meets windows/ rear hatch alignment/ doors harder to open or close.
if everything checks out and it still drives straight and true then honestly that's not an insanely hard fix. cut out radiator support, get all the pieces needed from a donor car or hawksthirdgen.org. make measurements and mig weld in new radiator support, seam seal, reassemble, paint, done.
if fixing your own cars interests you then I highly recommend buying a cheap mig welder. I'd personally stay away from flux core and go with gmaw. of all the things I know how to do, welding is by far my favorite and most used skill.
She still flys strait and true and every thing looks aligned I have a buddy thats In college for welding he said he could do it I have a black camaro I was gonna use for drag racing but I guess its a parts car now lol yeah not something I ever expected to happen and ive been babying her for the past month that way I didnt break anything so I could afford my hybrid swap
