Now a little tricky bit. I suspect when the new clutch was fitted the person doing the job cross threaded the front crossmember bolts when bolting it back to the radiator support panel. I guess they could have been damaged when removing and just forced back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The captive nut broke when i was trying to remove them which left me no choice other than to cut open the radiator support panel. I could either repair the panel or replaced it. I decided on the later to replaced the lower radiator support panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up was to remove the old panel from the chassis clean and treat it the areas for the new panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next i preped with stone chip and primer. Painted color and lacquer on the inside face as it would be hard to do when it was fitted with the engine in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next job was to weld the new panel in place. and give it a final prep<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finaly paint and lacquer. I also filled the cavities with waxoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left this alone for a while then fitted the JDM lamps and corner units.<\/p>\n
