Repairing Daytona "Panel, Fascia, H/L Mounting"

[jj86gn]

Hey,

This question is for anybody who does bodywork on Daytonas. When I picked mine up the panel that hold the radiator and the hood lock was bent from the previous owner pulling it out a mud hole.

Is this panel just bolted on or is it welded to the side panels??

The part number shows "4270 927 PANEL, Fascia, H/L Mounting" but doesn't say welded or bolt on.

The answer will drive the way I fix this. I do have a spare 85 Daytona with includes a new lower engine mount so if it is bolted on, I can replace it myself. If it is welded, how much do you think it will cost to fix??

The photos below show the damage. Like I said, I have a lower engine mount so I not worried about it. But where it attaches to is bent out and on the top side, it's bent so the hood won't close.

Not sure if it's bolted or welded, but I'm pretty sure you'd need a quick yank to the damaged panel before replacing it with a new one.
