Well i already pulled the motor so thats a non issue, Oh well i have leaking oil pan. The thing is that the actual frame rails are not bent, at least i dont think. its the top part of the frame. I will try to post some pics up tonight. Some of those measurements on that colision repair are hard to tell what holes they are going off of. I would like to know what the measurement between the frame rails are near the shock towers, and also from bolt to bolt on the shock towers.

If you look close you can see the metal bent up by the headlight mount

More bent stuff i have straited a lot but still some stuff to do.

The measurements on tthe collision print make no sense you cant tell where they are measuring off half the time so i cant tell if my shock tower is bent in or not. Anyone got that measurement? I dont think my subframe is bent but i might just check it anyway.
