Re: Need to fix 94 Corolla - Thoughts
The radiater support will be the hurdle for sure and to replace it ,it must be carefully spot welded to specs. Depending how perfect yu want this car is a personal opinion. Since it is a total loss as yu describe, Yu might be able to rent a frame puller and pull most of the original radiator support close enough to spec. Must be no more than 1/4 inch off in any dimension.
The rest yu can do. I did some light damage to my 88 corolla and did exactly this. Ironically it was totalled out by crash estimate guides. But I was in the A/B business for some time and borrowed some of the tools and used the facility for several hours here and there.
But yu can do it. I was able to use the car for many years later. No it was not perfect and anyone with a keen eye would notice it was repaired.
But it was just smart transportation in any event. Car lasted me 18 years in all. Bought new.\
Good luck
