My 85' GSL has some serious frame rail damage from a wreck that occured before I owned it, never thought about it until about a month and a half ago when I tried to put new front body parts on and the pass. front tire sticks out about two/two and a half inches, the drivers is covered that much more than normal. Plus, the rails are twisted at the ends about 20* or so.

Is it worth the time/money/effort to try and fix this problem? Or repalce the entire front frame from an FB that has strait rails (local salvage yard has about 7 FBs in their posession)

Also how tough would it be to do this?

Thanks,
Eric

 

You would need to take it to a place with a frame machine. Get some quotes and decide from there. Same for option 2 of replacing the front clip. Neither is a DIY job.

Option 3 would be to get the best bodied of those 1st gens from the junkyard and swap over all your good stuff. That would probably be the cheapest way.
