Lawless Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Badically I picked up some parts on the weekend and took my front bumper off to fit them ect to find the bar that holds the bumper in place is bent to fuck And really mishaped Never occurred to me the other damage on the car was tied in bonnets twisted and dented ect and a few other bits of minor damage So I'm guessing its been front ended once upon a time My question is can I replace this bar and were do I find oneThanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Is it an ep91? If so I think it just unbolts, get one from a breaker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 There are 3 bars accross the front of an ep91.. Top one (light support bar) - welded onMiddle one (Bumper Support bar) - bolts onBottom one (slam panel - The cars chassis.... Depends which one it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The top one where the bonnet bonnet sits is known as the slam panel, the bottom one is the chassis cross member. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 If it's the EP82 bumper support bar you need, try Toyota, I only paid £30 for one a few years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 The middle one is the mangled one and chances are the rest have had some sort of impact the front end looks like its ha a stroke all dropped on the drivers side never noticed it much before now its bugging me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hopefully get away with just changing the middle one is that a Toyota jobby then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The middle one isn't structural by any means. It is only there to support the bumper. 9x M6 bolts to remove from memory. Note, there should be a central bracket not shown in the photo below Throw up a photo if you are concerned about the other damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Should be a simple fix mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I wouldn't worry too much mate lots of these cars have had accident repairs done either over here or in Japan before they left and were sold in the auctions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Adds character . D/R cars don't bother me in the slightest. Aslong as a good job has been done repairing it. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
