Hello all, I have a '95 S14 that was converted to a kouki front end by the previous owner. The previous owner hit something while driving and the radiator support/driver side apron is mangled. The carbon fiber hood, driver side headlight, and bumper is also messed up and the whole front end fitment is messed up. My goal is to restore the front end and make it a pretty kouki again :).
I thought about trying to pull and shape the rad support by myself, but I really don't want to make it worse than it already is. I'm thinking about contacting several body shops to get their opinions and quotes. I've also thought about cutting the support and doing a tubed front, but then I worry about getting the right dimensions. To sum it up, I want my front end to be perfect again and the radiator support is the first thing I need to get out of the way. What do you guys think I should do?
P.S. I plan on ordering the front end parts directly from Nissan and courtesyparts.com.
