s13 front end fitment
Ok so im having some issues getting my front end to fit right, the previous owner had a sil front but took it off to sell the car and basically just slapped on the fenders and bumper with a few bolts.I didnt think this was gonna be a problem until i started tryin to put it together right and realized how chewed up the bottom of the car is. where the fenders are supposed to connect to the bottom of the car is all smashed to hell leaving me no where to bolt the damn things to...the drivers side is missing the peice to bolt the fender to all together(right by the door). the front end is straight its mainly just all the flange peices that are f'ed. i know im not doin the best job in the world explaining this but its been a long day...my question is can i cut all the messed up peices on the bottom off and either try to replace them with peices from another car or maybe fab some shit up myself or is there some other way to fix this? ill try and put pics up later so you guys can actually see what im talkin about....thanks for any ideas!

What I would probably do...and this is pretty ghetto...lol...is cut that pinch weld out in front of the door. Then just drill a couple holes further back in it and bolt a piece of steel bracket to it parallel to the ground so you have something to bolt the fender too...and for the bracket near the rear view mirror just bend a piece of metal into a 90* turn, drill holes and bolt it to the body.

I think Omgosh is on to something... some fab work on your part will be needed to make it look proper. It will never be the same. I hate it when knuckle draggers cant figure out that you dont use a floor jack on the pinch welds...at least use the freaking frame rails!!

I had this problem once, (the pinch welds being crumpled). Get the car up high enough to where you have some elbow room and get a pair of vise grips and bend the pinch welds back to good enough standards. Something of this nature would be ideal.
