How to help, Need to piece together my front end

Hey guys recently bought a evo that was hit in the nose and am looking to start assembly soon. I was wondering if anyone had photo's/diagrams/how-to's that may be of some assistance to me. Thanks so much

So far I welded in the new radiator support waiting on the hood hinges before painting the support. Once that is painted I can begin assembly

Easy. You're missing a lot of parts. Radiator, condenser, intercooler, couplers, clamps, crash bar, looks like your lower piping is crushed too. I could help you, I'm a body man by trade, r/r core supports all the time.

Also, I'd replace that fender and get yourself an OEM hood.

Ok, first, you need to measure the cross points before you weld that core support on. Make sure the measurements match the factory specs. Then weld the core support on. Everything is easy after that. Obviously you are going to need to re charge the AC when you put the new condenser on too.

Threw it on the frame machine and stragtened one of the frame rails, And welded support on.

I am going to be painting the support and the new hood hinges this week so i can start the bay assy,

Do you know if these are cleared on the evo?

As far as the rad/cooling fan/condenser/Ac Fan any idea on the installation that is pretty much where i get lost

I'm pretty sure the hinges are cleared. As far as where things go, when you start the assembly you should see that each thing has a place. It's hard to mess it up to tell you the truth. It's really hard to explain over the internet. If you really can't put it back together just go to a local body shop and have one of the techs come over or something. I just don't know how to explain it without being there and showing you.
