Hi all

Just a quick question before i dive into a job

just got another 3 ltr trooper thats had a light front end shunt

its high up so has got the grill, bonnet, and badly bent the top piece that runs along under the bonnet
infront of rad

Is thise piece bolted in or is welded in ??

Looks like it is part of the front that goes all the way down behind the bumper and headlights but not sure

anyone stripped one down ???

cheers

Think this piece is part of the inner wing so it's welded in, we have just rebuilt our 3.0l as ran off down the hill into the house Crying or Very sad

just got it back onto the road before the snow came, can it not be straightened?

Hi there,

Yes its welded.

Sounds like the condition I bought mine in. I think you can get the landing panel (top part that the bonnet lock is on) seperate. I personally would want to repair it if possible. It keeps the origional spot welds and sealer intact, so keeps the rust at bay. Being a panel beater and having access to a body jig, I just gave my front panels a quick pull and tried the bonnet and locks for fit. Its amazing how well things 'pull' out.

The idea is to reverse the damage.

Hope this is some help Very Happy
