I have an 89 Fastback that has front end damage, the front rad support corner was pushed back about 2 inches, I was thinking about hooking up the car to a tree with a chain and pull it out. I recently put a new fender and bumper, It looks undamaged except for one pop-up. Im thinking about selling it to raise money for an engine project, how much would I get for it?

.....no.

Use something to push it back out but not a chain and a tree. You would have no way to controll how far and how even it comes out.

We used a bottle jack on one of our 240s to just get the panels to line up again. the only damage you could see in the engine bay was sractches from the jack. Use something like a piece of wood inbetween the rad support and the jack. There is other ways to do this, but I am not a body tech.

If you are selling it, and want to get $$$ for it, you best make that thing look pretty.

chain, winch, tree and reverse actually works pretty good if you don't care about the car. if you pull it out too far, break out the hammer and bang it into shape. or drive the car into something.

once you bolt on the fenders, bumper and hood, you won't be able to tell without popping the hood and taking a good look. please don't do this and con a kid into paying full price for a 240sx with a mangled rad support.
