Question
Auto body repair & detailing: front-end damage, radiator support, vertical frame
08focus
just curious about bad or superficial this kind of damage is, considering airbags did not go off?
i'm mainly concerned with vertical frame beams(the left drive's side) which attach to radiator support, the core support of the whole structure upfront, what should i look for??
thanks!

Answer
  JR, looks like impact came from the left to right .airbags are designed to operate under certain crash conditions ;speed, direction angle,ect. picture shows extensive damage to the front unibody section .this will need to be put on a machine to be diagnosed and repaired using; simultaneous,multi-pull ,controlled pressures to return it to factory specifications.  cant tell from pictures  if there are bends or buckles in the frame rail or radiator support tie bar. buckled rails need to be replaced not repaired never use heat to weaken metal to straighten buckles. i hope this is helpful.  bill
