Radiator Support Solution

[wrecked2001]

Hey guys, long time between post. I would like to share some good news. I picked up my S30 for $500 dollars.It had the usual rust issues, battery area, passenger side floor board due to ruptured heater core and spare tire well.But other than that being a Texas car and being stored on gravel it is pretty solid. The biggest issue which would have been make or break was the Rad Support. The car look like it had incident with a curb. The front of the front drivers side frame rail was wrinkled along with the Rad Support on that side. Someone tried to straighten it in the past with little success. To make long story short i couldn't find a replacement in the junk yards or online anywhere. Let me introduce you to Auto Panel Solutions. They are a Mom and Pop business based out of the UK. The contacted me on Facebook to let me know about their new kit. I ordered it immediately. The quality is good, though I haven't fitted it yet. Here is a pic,I can upload more.If you check them out on Facebook they have a multitude of patch-panel solutions for the S30. They are based in the UK so you know they know about rust and how to fix it. Any question I would be happy to answer.

Impressive, to say the least.  I just took a quick look at their Facebook site and discovered more offerings that will interest CZCC members... like complete and partial firewall panels, for example.  The detailing is very impressive.  I have a suspicion that they're dimensionally accurate, too.  Customer reviews (there are lots on the site) will probably tell the story on that point.  

Would you care to share with the rest of us the price you paid for the rad support kit?

A link to their page would be good too

[wheee!]

Don’t show this to@convertt

Wish I would have seen this 4 years ago. My rad support was pretty crappy.

I paid $640 shipped, taxes and customs, with the exchange rate. You can buy all the individual pieces of this kit separately, I just chose to buy the the whole thing.

I spoke to Kim, she does the marketing. They don't have a page yet, just Facebook and Ebay

haha - looks about right!  There are two little right angled brackets not shown, so 13 pieces in all.  I had "fun" making one -probably won't do it again....

Actually that is not true.  I might take all the cardboard templates to get a set laser cut - it would be much faster.

I think that is pretty reasonable actually
