Core Support

At some point in this car's past it was involved in a low-speed collision on the drivers-side front corner. The damage wasn't really noticeable until I tried to replace the panels. valence and fender would not line up no matter how hard I tried. I actually managed to ruin a perfectly good fender by crushing it with the door when I opened it.

I bought a $150 rear-quarter wrecked '83 GS with a blown motor for parts. The donor car core-support was cut out and welded in place once the backing tube was pushed forward a bit. Here's a couple of pics:
