I have a 97 Lesabre that my daughter used to rear end someone last fall. The one day she borrowed one of my cars, she bangs it up. The car is not worth taking it to the repair shop so it is redneck front end repair or I part it out. It runs beautifully (no radiator or condenser damage and airbags didn't deploy) so I am straightening the radiator support and replacing the headlamps, hood, and some other front end parts.
What I need is a measurement from under the hood. I need to know the distance between the support bar that spans the strut towers and the hood latch/lock. In order to get the hood to latch I need to pull the support out far enough. I have it close right now but it would be helpful to know the actual value so I am not guessing.
Just taking a shot that someone has a lesabre of the 95-99 vintage and would be willing to take a measurement for me.. There are tons of these out there so I am betting another member has one.
BTW, my kids love this car. They thoguht they were going to die of embarassment when I brought it home. they and their friends have nicknamed it "The Couch".
