I have a 1990 Bronco and I was in a minor accident. took out my grill, pushed in my headlight, bumper, and fender. How would I go about fixing this subframe damage after I get the covering stuff off? Can I buy pieces of the subframe? I know I can buy a new radiator support. In the past I have just pulled the frame out, but Since this is my baby I'd like to do it right this time. Any help eould be greatly appreciated

does the '90 have the crumple zone on the front frame rails? If they are damaged you might be screwed.

Is it the actual "frame" or the support/mounting brakets from the frame to the bumper? I had the drivers side front hit: headlight, grill, filler strip, bumper, brackets, fender pushed back. There was no "frame" damage just panels and brackets. These are pretty easy to find/replace. I did all mine in a day.

It appears to be the radiator support, there is no frame damage. I was moving at 5mph when the collission occured. The Kia I hit didn't fair to well though. So the frame is good, but it looks like the front radiator support may need to be replaced. not sure of the availibility of these kind of parts. I have a fender already, and will have to straighten everything out before I can rehang the new fender though.
