The pictures tell the story, even if you are not seeing it. The core support (radiator mounts to it) is bent. The hood latch support is bent. The radiator is very crooked in relation to the core support. The upper cowl is bent where it bolts to the fender. The front bumper does not fit the lower grille opening. Again, a further away picture would show it all.
The “shelves” you are referring to are stock pieces. I stole a picture off the internet so you can see what an undamaged front end looks like.
That's a great picture. Thank you.
I ordered a new radiator support. I'm going to start there because it is definitely a part of the problem.
I did take a picture from further back, but looking at it on my computer I don't like the angle. I'll take another one today and post it.
A front end collision would explain a lot. The bumper extensions were non-existent. Just the outer bumper supports that mount to the lower valence were installed. It would also explain why the fender extensions seem to be bent outward at the top where the curve meets the fender. I'm really not sure that is even the correct radiator support because it doesn't look right to me. It's either been replaced with an incorrect one or unbent or probably, in all likelihood, both. It also seems like that might not be the correct radiator either. Once I get it apart, I'll measure it and look at the mounting holes.
Thank you!
