Default 93 EX Front Collision Help

Hello All,
As you can see this is my first post. I only spent about 30 minutes searching so forgive me if the answer is easy to find. I need help to repair some moderate front end damage. Ideally I would like to start with an exploded diagram of the front body to identify all the parts that need to get replaced. After that any tips on sequence of disassembly etc. most of the damage is headlight high on the passenger side. Fender, hood, grill for sure and likely core support as well. I bought this car new. It has 140K and other recent work done so I hate to sell it off but I might if this turns out more than I can do.

Only emanual I have is for 91 Accord and it does not appear to contain any info on front end, except bumper (attached). It might be worth downloading this manual from Online Manuals post links in DIY forum. Manual is divided into many anonymous files making a search difficult.

good luck

On-line parts places like Majestic.
www(dot)hondaautomotiveparts(dot)com
Click "parts"
enter your car's information

Several different categories cover the front end:
"Bulkhead" is mostly the firewall, but includes some structure along the fenders.
Bumper
Front fenders
Radiator
- look down the list to see if there's any others?

Thanks for the suggestions but so far nothing is coming up with the core support with all the parts connected to it. I saw somewhere else that the core support is tack welded into place on Civics. I assume that is true for Accords?

What is the "core support"?? Do you mean the structural stuff around the radiator? Or maybe the suspension sub-frame?

Those pictures come from Honda's electronic parts catalog & some of the "category" names are a bit obscure. It's a tedious job to look through ALL the categories to find where they put one piece or another.

The core support is the pressed metal structure between the two fenders across the front. Honda may call it a radiator bracket.

Category = Bulkhead
part #7
(I think #8 is that vertical strut in front of the radiator?)
