Questions about front end Frame structure
alright this is only my 1st or 2nd time posting here ever, but I'll try to get straight to the point.
-01 GS300
-front end damage
trying to figure out which parts are bolt-on to the frame (such as core support and bumper reinforcement bar), and where the actual frame starts.
I am trying to see how badly the actual solid frame of the car is bent.
so far most of the bends I've found seem to be the bumper reinforcement bar, the 2 parts that that bar attaches to (name?), and the core support.
does anyone have a diagram of all of these connections? does the core support bolt directly onto the frame? can't exactly tell as I haven't removed the side panels yet and I'm still new-ish to the GS.
will post more pictures if requested but here's a basic front picture with the headlights and bumper removed.
I need to know if it's fixable without welding anything.

Looks like a lot of work for a GS3. Why not take what you're going to spend on repairs and find a low(er) mileage GS4? You might have to do some searching, but I bet you could find one in the $5-6 range. If mine had that much damage that's what I would do.
