93 CYM R1 Rebuildable/Unrebuildable
 
I have a 93 CYM R1 Crashed right in the passenger door, quarter and fender. I want an awesome body shop I use to rebuild my car so I can keep it. I was just wondering how safe this thing will be after the rebuild? Even if everything lines up doesn’t mean its right. There’s a lot of fudging a body shop can do to make things line up if you know what I mean. I damn sure don’t want to find out if this thing holds together or if there is a major problem at speed!! These things don’t exactly have a giant roll cage under their skins either. They are quit thin and flimsy. So, I guess what I am wondering is abandon the CYM and find another chassis, or rebuild my CYM??

Talk to TurboJeff from these forums, he's done great work on damaged FD's.

id rebuild it providing it checks out..
that is.. if you have every intention of keepin her..
the cost will outweigh the return even if it is a cym..
considerin the title id assume has a blemish..

Amp , 3 FD's. Wow.:)

I would fix the car. There are a lot of great body shops in town. Search in the south forum, this has been posted many times. Search using body and shop.

just ask around and find the most reputable shop... check on the car often, make sure everything is going like it should. Its like a house.. you have to keep on top of the "contractors" to make sure everything goes the way you want it to.

I do want to keep it! It has been a great car with (belive it or not) no real trouble. I have had the usual issues but nothing serious. It still has the original motor and only 59,xxx miles on it. I don't really have the time to baby sit this thing if I send it to a body shop, as I work long hours during the week. And as you know people are scarce on the weekends around shops! The title is rebuildable and the wheels are straight (at least they look straight!?)

Thanks for all the reply's! We have a go - thats a go for rebuild!!
