should i repair or get a shell? help

[La Maravilla]

Ok I have some framed damage where the fender meets the radiator support but the radiator support looks good. Im planning on doing a jdm front on this soon but from what I researched I need this part to be in good condition in order for me to put the jdm front in. I was quoted around 400 to get it pulled back but would it be worth it or even leave it in good condition to put in the jdm front? Im thing about just buying a shell but I cant make up my mind if I can save it or junk it. Sorr y pictures automatically flipped.

im thinking save it. Im sure you wont find a good shell for less than 400

yeah I know its a clean car its just this messed it up. do you think if I get it pulled it will sit good for when I do my jdm front install?

either way you will need to pull it because im sure you will run into this same issue with it contacting the JDM radiator support..

I saved mine from a worse one dude you can do it. Strip the whole front end down and take it to a body shop with a frame machine, preferably one of the laser align ones. (make sure they know what they're doing). Once it has been properly pulled, get a new core support and new front end. Go JDM front now if you want too.

I had a similar hit on the passenger side pushed the metal against the p.s pul a afternoon with a come along and hammer made it about perfect. 400 is a pretty good price to fix the damage.

Keep her
