Hey wassup guys I'm fixing my car(front end wrecked a lot of bodyshops are charging me around 1700$ to fix the front and I brought in my friends brother to look at it he said to buy parts and 150$ in labor...I'm willing to do it but he wants to bolt on my radiator support instead of spotweld what do u guys think ?

troll post or retard alert
you need a hood. a hood alone is $150. Unpainted.
$1,700 is a fuckin deal already.
Good luck bolting a welded core support in place, good luck pre-pulling the damaged one prior to remove and replace without at least floor pots.
Your friend is an idiot. Your car is a total. If someone will fix that for $1,700 take them up on it.
Should be fine, the radiator support isn't very weight bearing.
So you are buying the parts
And he is gonna do the labor for 150?
My stock 07 Jetta radiator is held on by plastic and thin sheet metal so I don't see the problem
The support is held on by four small bolts btw

I can get all the parts for 550$ and do all the other parts expect the radiator support which I can't install since it's too difficult this guy works for a body shop and he showed me pictures of a VW Jetta he did with the same accident and he did a clean job except he bolted it on with bolts instead of spotwelding retard alert? maybe you should go read on cars a bit more

Holy hell, kys. Your car is fucking totalled, and probably not even worth $1700 anyways. Sell it to a junkyard for a few hundreds and learn to have full coverage kid.
