Help reviving an Avalon....?

Hello,

Got this total at the insurance auction for $680 today, and need a little help getting the parts to wake it back up. What I need to know is some sort of interchage on what years' parts will work in getting this nose back together. I've brought a ton of Fords back, but this will be my first toyota. It's a '95, what other years nose parts will work here?

N

Here's a couple pics with the broken stuff removed. The bumper is fine, but the bumper mounts and the studs they mount to tore off. Does anyone have a picture of their front end innards so I can see what this bent metal's supposed to lok like? Im most concerned about the metal around the condensor, it looks like it's sculptured but nto sure what's sculpture and what's just bent. I can bend it all back where it's supposed to be but need some sort of picture to know where to put it.

A good clear picture of a NIB Radiator support would work too, thanks.

Not really, have to drill out welds at 4 corners of it, remove the radiator and condensor.... hassle hassle hassle.... That's work for fancy schmancy body shops that get to bill insurance for all the work and trouble.

Ive fixed a ton of rad supports, this one's definitely a keeper. Once I get it fixed you'd be hard pressed to tell there was ever a wrinkle in it. I just need to see one to know where to put it back to.
