yeah, i agree. You've definately got major frame damage there, especially where the bumper support connects.So dump it, your car will never drive the same again anyway. And you will spend less on a another 240, 100% sure.

I can't affford another 240, that's my biggest set back, I have access to all the tools to repair my car, JBJ858 how much did it cost you to do the conversion? if it's possible i'm gonna do it, i know it's gonna take alot of work to straighten the frame and all that but it's worth it

I dont think its worth it, I picked up my 240 for 500 bucks. Can you fix that for 500 bucks? Just an example.

BTW I had less damage on my other 240 than yours did, but it wasnt worth fixing.

wow that cars a goner... part it or something... if you dont have "hook ups" to fix your frame (i'm assuming its benttt) then you'll have to grab money out of your @$$ for it...

Maybe you just dont like the news but you need to get it through your head that you are not going to fix this car for less than it would cost to buy a new one.

I hate being harsh to folks but truth hurts, and you need to put that thing on the parts forum and try to make some back on it. Its nothing but spare parts now.
