The other day I got into a collision... The bumber is all destroyed and so is the radiator support. To have a shop weld a new support in will it require the engine being pulled? The car runs and drives fine and still drives straight so I'm thinking about fixing it all up.

Sucks about your accident. I'm fairly sure the radiator core support can be replaced without removing the motor.

Nah, radiator support is easy access.

If you have any welding skills at all, it's a fairly easy fix.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to go look around to try to find a shop now knowing this.. I have no welding experience and I also don't have the means of stripping the car down and pulling the engine out to have this done so im glad it won't be as bad as I initially thought.

That sucks.

Pop the hood and measure out some points and see how bad it is

Mike, where did you get the drawing and are there more like it for Fox body Mustangs?

I got it a while ago over on corral in the body forum. only graphic I've ever seen related to body measurements on the fox. Don't know if it's official Ford, or someone who measured their car
