I need some hookups for my poor *** FD. Anyone know anyone who could straigten a twisted frame on a saturday or sunday?

 

case of beer, a couple chains and a few pickup trucks and we'll get ya "squared" away.

 

lol, if it were only that easy. Mine has a twist in it, you've worked on it yourself, its J_J's old hunk of junk.
I've stripped off all the paint and bondo to expose all the mess on the passanger side, nothing a good straightening and a ChargeSpeed widebody won't fix.
Also nobody around here seems to want to sell me a bare shell (ideal situation), and none of the body shops with a frame machine are open outside of the 8am-5pm work hours I work. It is frustrating.

 

OMG, that thing is a pile!! lol

it was all crushed on the passenger side, boxing the ecu in, right?

 

yup, check it out. We've got here an FD that needs some love.

 

ive measured the inside cabin in an x pattern, it is perfect in that regard, but the passanger front frame rail is about a quarter inch inward to the engine bay, and the rear left side and front right side are lower than the front left and rear right. When measured, the left rear sits about an inch lower than the right rear, it isnt the suspension either, i swapped springs and also put it on jackstands. Not to mention if you look down through the back of the car to the front, the rear strut tower doesnt line up with the front windshield lines, its twisted =( Actually thats my main issue with the damn thing. It wouldnt bother me at all if it didnt have a twist.

 

let us know who you went with, a quality body shop is hard to find

 

hey dood, i finally put your bumper on today!!

 

sweet, I demand pictures !

still can't find the lights though. bummer

 

Just for the record: I told the guy that I sold it to that the frame was possibly damaged because it was in a severe enough accident to deploy the airbags and be labelled as salvage....he was on this forum....some Chinese guy. He ended up buying it for the purpose of reselling it for a profit since I let it go for so cheap.

 

yup, that would be J_J

well **** happens, oh well. This can turn into a good track beater, but right now I just need the frame straightend, a chargespeed widebody will be going on it, so body work really isnt an issue. How did you end up with the car?

 

we weren't doggin' on you jj, we were just pokin' fun at the car
