I noticed today on my 85gt that the steel that the rad sits in right above the steel that holds the fog lights is all warped like wavy. I see no other areas damaged so i do not think this is accident damage. I am thinking age. It seems like it affects nothing but I just noticed because it looks wierd. Has anybody seen this on older or any cares. I do not plan on fixing this unless someone tells me otherwise but just asking.

i noticed the same thing the other day when i was replacing my balancer. the metal underneath the radiator looked like it had been wrecked...but it was bent towards the front of the car. we couldnt figure out what had happened, but we just figured the car had been bottomed out or been air born. oh well
