Looks like a few folks might have a Burgandy. I could use one as well. Please private message me.

Hey Pete, Yup missing that one too. Wouldn’t mind a clean top piece either. Was able to salvage the old one from the accident. Have a lead on the bottom piece? thanks!

If you do end up finding it, let me know would be awesome to complete the front end. thanks for searching even if you don’t find it.

Well it took some time but thought I’d share the results of the repair. Airborne or anybody, I did have some trouble finding all the front end pieces. Anybody know where I can find the final pieces or what I might have gotten wrong. Notice right above the turn signals I’m missing chrome. I think I have 86 bezels but seems there are extra pieces I can’t find. Ideas???

Good find, seems the header panel goes in and out of stock pretty quick or I was doing something wrong. Had Quadratec saved for the grille and bumper caps but not header panel. Thanks again!

Looking for a header panel for my 86. Rear ended someone and busted up the front end. I have the Jeep emblem pieces so fine if those are missing. Also planning a paint job so color doesn’t matter. Most fabrication sites are giving me out of stock not available until July. I’ve checked the local junk yards for 86-89 MJs and XJs with no luck. I’m down in San Diego if that helps. I’d expect cost to be in the $80-$120 range.

Cut the bumper off and looks like the front section definitely needs to be replaced. Hard to tell if either side would though. Looks like the bracket bend into the unibody on one side so hopefully that can just be straightened? side with the bracket is passenger side without the bracket is driver

Yup, that’s been my last few days working to strip off the damage best I can in between the rainy days. I’m expecting to find more as I get deeper so hopefully pleasantly surprised.

Thanks Airborne! I'm not the welder you are so once I get it to a shop I’ll have to assess but I do like the idea to reinforce with the unibody and make it bulletproof for any future accidents. Plan to beef up the bumpers as well to help with that.

Whelp went to take the bumper off and turns out a bent the bracket in the perfect spot to not fit a socket on the bumper bolt or bumper bracket bolt. Bent the bracket pretty good. Any suggestions beyond brut strength?

Here are the pics of the damage. From what I can tell I know I’ll need new: fenders, grille, header panel, bumper, all lights and repaired frame. Anything else obvious? Does the frame look repairable? Appreciate the expert help

Recent accident damaged the front end and looks like the front brace on the unibody frame is broken. 86’ 2.5L manual 4x4 What are my options? Do I need a full frame replacement? Can I just get the front piece replaced? Most posts I’ve found suggest getting a donor car and replacing them quickly down the rabbit hole of just upgrading to a 4.0L. I can post a pic once I get home.

Camper Shell Found! Had to get it shipped from Washington but picking it up Friday. Used YRC Freight for shipping, prices were reasonable if you are able to drop off and pick up from one of their warehouses.

Lol, sometimes you just have to make the mistakes yourself to learn. Luckily for me I didn’t go as deep as you did.
