That was before i started fixing it. My Uncle gave me a Radiator and as u can see i dont think i put it right its tilted but who cares as long as i can drive it. I already installed the water pump, timing belt, fan clutch, and fan. i need 2 take more pictures of it finished. and i need a job 2 start fixing the body.

Well I'm sure you intalled the radiator correct. It's just tilted because the radiator support was bent from the wreck, which looks to have been pretty hard. Good luck on the project.

No all you need isn't just the bumper fender hood and light holder. You need to tow that to a chassis place and get the frame straightened out, if the frame can even be straightened out. When the fender is pushed 6 inches higher than it's supposed to be, you have some serious frame damage. I wouldn't be suprised if that should have been a write off, so go check it out before you start sinking any money into it or get so attached to it, it could turn out that you can't even register or drive it.
