Ralphead 0 Posted February 25, 2018 After far too much time I'm finally looking to get my Corrado back on the road. The front end needs some bodywork and the chap who's going to spray it isn't too complimentary about the state of my front cross-member. The upper part that supports the engine is fine but the thinner panel that drops down to support the bumper cover etc. is pretty rough and not worth trying to repair. Personally I can't see it causing a problem but I can see where he's coming from. Does anyone have any horror stories about failing cross-members or should I tell him to ignore it?

seanl82 23 Posted February 26, 2018 Thats the radiator support panel, and although not structural, it could break down enough to cause the radiator to "swing" about, which could quickly turn into a burst hose where it fatigues on the joint/clamp. Worth seeing if you can get a decent condition second hand one surely?..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralphead 0 Posted February 26, 2018 Ah yes. The rad's out at the minute so I didn't clock that, thank you. I'd better keep an eye out for another one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
