Who's done front end collision repair? (NB)
While I had the nose off my car I pondered doing some of this myself since I bashed a civic when my car was still virginal. There's a cross beam that goes between the frame rails that's spot welded on and two bumper mounts that are bolted on. The latter are cake, but I'm curious if it's a big PITA to do the cross beam.
It's gonna require some welding and probably not spot welding since I don't have a spot welder.
Thoughts?
Here's the parts I'm talkin bout. They're behind the big plastic banana thing.

i've had the alignment done like a dozen times since then.. it's probably due anyway so i'll get it checked eventualy. it all looks straight beyond the cross beam.
I guess I should paint it all too since it only comes primed?

well hopefully it's not going to move. it's sitting on jackstands at the moment and it wasn't hit hard enough to deform anything behind that (no airbag deployment). I suppose I can measure before and after from a known datum and jack it into place as needed.
a tweaked frame would suck.
