ill start this off with, im new to this.

anyways i recently crashed my 24o hatch. After the accident i replaced the whole front end (silvia front). im having trouble with trying to get the hood to close. on the left side, where i hit a tree my hood slants up. in other words it doesnt close all the way. im getting to the point where im about to give up on my car and just part out with it because my knowledge about cars isnt that wide. its proibably a dumb idea considering the fact that i LOVE my car. i was told earlier by a friend thast it might cost me about 1k to fix because i might need a new radiator support. does anyone know or have any knowlede on where you can come across that or know of any shops around the LA area that are somewhat cheap. wow ive never been sooooo upset / annoyed. ill post pictures sometime soon. if anyone wants to help feel free to.

Does it not latch? or is not even close to closing. Theres a small amount of adjustment for the latch.

Either way it would be nice to bring it to a bodyshop/mechanic.

you hit a tree. obviously you bent some things. take it to a couple places and get some estimates. if you replaced the whole front end with a silvia conversion (assuming you did it yourself), it seems it wasnt too bad of an accident. shouldnt cost too much to fix.

you could get a radiator support. from dealer or a junk yard. its about 150 to 250 i dont seem to remember. i would just get it brand new tho because from junkard its a bitch to take out with out power tools haha
