So I'm pretty good with alignments and front ends but I'm kinda lost as to where I need to start here. Here's what's up with my 90 NA

Of corse I've got a pull to the right. The LF spring still has some kind of rubber spacers at the very bottom and very top. They look similar to what comes in newer sports cars from the factory that are removed at PDI. Taking them out would make the springs sit even lower so I don't think they're the issue.
This tends to be common in cars that have been in accidents but I know the RR has had body work but suspension is solid and LF is all original no body work has been done. It looks like the subframe in the front has shifted. That would explain the positive on the right and negative on the left but how could it shift so much? Could it be loostened and straightened out that much? Looks like maybe .5 camber either way is what it needs to do. That gives me -0.9L and -0.8R
