Auto body repair & detailing: honda core support, honha, core support


Question
I am planning to buy A 1996 honha accord. The previous owner hit a deer. There is minor boby damage but that is not my worrie. The vehicles core support is bent pretty bad and it has crushed the coolant overflow. Can the core support be unbolted and replaced or should it be repaired with another method. thanks for your time.  

Answer
Older Accords had a kind of goofy radiator supt.You can buy a whole assembly which I dont think you need, or you can buy side panels,center tie bar,and latch supt. separatly.It sounds like you need 1 side panel and a tie bar.Unfortunatly these parts are welded on and cannot be bolted in place to maintain structural integrity of the car.
