i found free 240sx with driver's side front end crash.

engine is fine but the chassis(frame) is totally crushed like paper.

is it posible to fix(stratch) the frame? just wondering.

(or maybe cut from other junk car and weld the front. )

I wouldn't try to fix the car.....i would get it then pull the parts you need or can sell and dump the rest. I've seen cars that were "fixed" from being in wrecks and all of them ended up having alignment issues one way or another the car rode like dirt.

yea I wouldn't suggest welding the frams on these cars they can push enough tourqe that it would crush the wleds and leave you hanging again why risk it just find another fully good frame and then dump everything onto that if you want. It may be alot of work but hey if you love 240's then why not do it. It will teach you alot and you will enjoy it much more when it is done.

Depending on the how severe the frame damage is, you could pull it. The only problem is that these cars aren't really worth the trouble or the $$. Judging from your description, though, I'd probably not pull it.

definatly grab it you can sell bits you dont need, or find a car with a wrecked interior/whatever for cheap and combine
