1999 gt coolant tank sitting too high?

[chasingomas]

Hey y'all,

Been a while, update coming soon. I was wondering if anyone used to the engine bay could tell me why the coolant tank is sitting so high? I think there was some damage done before me hoping to get the hood on! Attached are the pictures If you need anymore, feel free to ask. Thank you, Happy holiday season.

The radiator needs to be lowered
And the radiator support may be pushed up
Check that whole front apron if its bent up
That one reason why its not linning up

It can be fixed there are radiator supports out there
The junk yards
I'd take a battery powered sawzaw with me cut one out

Someone might've just bought the wrong radiator, or it's just not fully sunk into the lower rubber supports....or both.

so much good info, thank you. Is there any band-aid fixes, like being it somewhat back? I'm moving soon, so I'd like a hood for the move, and once I'm established, I'll get the ol' sawzaw out

If it is support you can try to bend it into place
As suggested check make sure its fully sunk into the donuts at the bottom of support
But the hood could become a problem not latching down

I had to elongate the holes in the ABS mount to move it back a bit to make room for the bigger radiator to fit all the way down.

These things are tricky when front end damage happens
The light pannel dose not properly fit
Hood problem
Fender problem
Front bumper cover
I feel sometimes the front end on these cars are the most venerable
One good hit and the party is over

The SN95 front core support is hella weak too.
