Knackers Member 102 Member For: 13y 10m 14d Posted 28/03/14 10:08 PM Author Share Posted 28/03/14 10:08 PM $450 for the rad support alone (new). $495 was the next cheapest price I found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knackers Member 102 Member For: 13y 10m 14d Posted 02/04/14 10:37 AM Author Share Posted 02/04/14 10:37 AM ^ planning on it.Got all the parts at home. New mounts, new rad support and new headlights.Headlight were disappointing, full replacement due to one broken mount point :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knackers Member 102 Member For: 13y 10m 14d Posted 09/05/14 01:00 PM Author Share Posted 09/05/14 01:00 PM Rad supports in... $1,000 labour to replace everything. Turns out it's a major operation to do right. All good now.Don't attempt it yourself unless you're handy with a grinder, welder and can re-gas an aircon afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss easy job if your a qualified panel beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knackers Member 102 Member For: 13y 10m 14d Posted 09/05/14 10:53 PM Author Share Posted 09/05/14 10:53 PM It was the cheapest quote around. Your post before saying $250 for the part and $150 labor makes me wonder if we're talking about the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
