Well I got hit in the side the other daygoin to work, it's not pretty but I was going to see if someone could give me some advice on how to fix it. The wreck was considered my fault and since I don't have full coverage on my car I'm not getting any money from my insurance company GREAT! so maybe someone can help..but luckily there was no one in the passenger side :biggrin:

I am getting a new door and a fender to start off but maybe one of you Nico catz has a good way to fix the frame.

Heres some pics I will get better soon

body shop, frame puller. needs to be pulled straight, then filled smooth, new door, new fender, and considerable work on rear fender to make it straight (or a cut and weld fender section).

on second thought, rear could be hidden once pulled pretty straight with over fenders. good time for aero, will save you smoothing on the rocker panel too.

Well Id like to do that but I dont have the money unless its not all that expensive. I just need the dorr to be able to shut since I slide mine Im not worried about having a flawless body. I might just do what bersh240 said :gapteeth:

this really depends on how bent your frame is... and by the look of the pic its probably bad

this wont be a cheap fix if you fix it correctly
