Hi.
I have a S13 that previously was in a small front accident.
I thought it was the front radiator support that took the whole damage, so i ordered a new one at the local Nissan, waited a few month and finally received it.
We installed it loosely on the car and notiged that the front passager side is all bend down and pushed in a little.
The tower it self have not been moved at all. So thats nice.
But what would be the correct way of bending this back into shape?
Can it be done with a big hammer, some wood and a slidehammer and maybe make a few cuts with an anglegrinder?
Or is there another way of doing it that we didnt think of?
The car is not a track car, but are going to be a road-legal car, so, its not possible to mange a tubed or caged front because of the local laws in this country.
