Sparky Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Shouldnt cost too much mate Give Toyota a call cant see it being much more than £40 for the front panel (if your talking about the one that runs above the radiator)Cant see the slam panel/crash bar being much more expensive either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'd go to a scrappy and chop the front of a Starlet off (from about half way through the engine bay)Then give it to your mechanic and see what he can do with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 scutch had to do this when he knocked the front end on his n/a..basically what he did i belive is buy another front end from a scrappers for little money..and the original one is spot welded onto the chassis..so drill out ever spot weld..and take the old front end off...put the new one on..and either get someone to spot weld that in or...where all the holes are that you drilled bolt it on through them.....Whcih is what i belive he did..

Sparky Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ahh the top front panel that would be mate not the slam panelI had to change the front driverside headlight panel.It is all spot welded on so you just drill the spot welds to remove it Then take it to Toyota and say can you get me one of these Then you spot weld it back on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
