I have taken off the driver side fender, front bumper cover, upper radiator support, and the headlight. There is a part of the frame that does not look strength critical that is torn and is terribly bent. It goes over the headlight makes a 90 degree bend and attaches to the frame rail next to the radiator. This piece is held in place with spot welds and is where one headlight bolt attaches. I found a car in a salvage yard that has this frame component. does anyone know what this piece is called? Would a salvage yard care if I cut out this piece? I desperately need it to get this car on the road again. I found a picture from Mercedes Source of what the area looks like https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_tQ2MPdWfNM/maxresdefault.jpg Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

If so, getting it back on the road will in most states require a salvage title which is a hindrance to selling it. Also, if the air bag light won't go off, in my state (Virginia) that prevents it from passing inspection. I mention this because my 1989 260E had the most minor of front corner damage and GEICO totaled it. They paid a handsome price, since the car was pristine, then offered it back for $650. While a complete repair was $1100, those issues -- salvage title and air bag light -- made me turn it down. Bringing air bag sensors to full working condition can be an expensive headache in cars of those years.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
