a little misfortune

By -EJ1- COUPE
- Thu Dec 06, 2007 4:13 pm #32559 yesterday i was driving to the chiropracter as usual and there was a sign that siad dip but there was no dip so i slowed down a little but not as much as i should have and i hit a huge dip in the road. it caught my tow hook on the driviers side and ripped it of the radiator support. it tore through the spot welds and broke the boxed in end. ill post pics when i get home to see if any of you guys have any idea how to fix this

That sucks, sounds like you're going to have to weld it back. But I'll wait to see the damage pics. Hopefully the spot welds snapped before any thing got bent.

- Fri Dec 07, 2007 2:51 am #32611 I took my tow hooks off, extra weight. Now I'm really glad I took them off!

(I still got towed once without them, modern tow trucks pick the car up by the front wheels.)

I suppose you can try bending it back and try welding it up. It may not look perfect as before, but what else can you really do?
