Front End Body Panels

The front body structure is designed to satisfy bumper impact requirements. The front bumper assembly forms a major front structure component. The front fenders which are bolted to the front valances, are fully described in the Body and Paint Repair manual.







Left and right hand false bulkheads together with insulation covers, installed between the engine compartment and the BIW front bulkhead, provide optimum insulation against noise and heat intrusion. Two plenum braces bolted between the BIW upper toeboard and the plenum, increase bodyshell structural integrity.







The plastic radiator grill and vane block achieve weight reductions over steel components and provide high resistance to front end corrosion.
