whats up zivilians,
well i goofed and fucked my car up a few days ago. my question is this even worth getting fixed? or should i just find a shell to swap my sr into. it appears that this is the only portion of the frame that was damaged. please help me out, im in over my head lol.

its fixable, mine was in way worse condition and im still getting fixed and straighten it out.

deadhambino · 07-26-2012, 02:17 PM

coool, any idea how much this will run me? i see youre from whittier, you got any shops that you would reccomend?

What i did to prevent frustration, I just got a whole front rad support. I had a buddy who pretty good at body work and welding so he did my front end first. with rad support and labor it ran me about 150-200 finished and aligned. all depends on how much you buy the rad support for and the person who is installing it.

Noice. I managed to get my x8 straightend out without swapping the core support.

Did this

Utalized a come-a-long an engine hoist and a big ass hammer.

YAY FIX'D

You'll be way better off with a new one though. Just drill out the old one and bash that shit around until the new one lines up.
