Car: 1991 240sx, with pignose and sohc motor--WTF was i thinking

Post

Just got the car and noticed this in the middle of trying to clean the engine bay, The drivers side strut tower seem like its higher than the passenger side. If it is tweaked, i kno a guy with a chassis thing that could probably straighten it out. Im kinda pissed, but i cant ***** cause i got the car for pennys.

hmmmm does look that way, see if you can take it to a local body shop and see if someone can just look at it and give you their professional opinion, should be no big deal, it can be fix, and if you got the car for pennies, whatever it costs to get the frame straighten, I still say you come out on top

you need to take more measurements. across the top of the firewall to the front of the car, and diagonally from the top of the firewall to the opposite corner of the car and so on. That will yield the most information. Then you can take more measurements from the firewall to the shock towers to see where the distortion is happening and by how much.

Take it to a body shop.
