Yes, mines the same way.

But in stead of using the tube way ^

I just got a bare front clip. Welded it in.

its not to terrible, it can be fixed like nrmskate said, same thing occured on my s14 but very very mild damage.

What you could do that I did to help straighten mine out was attach a steel tow hook to the tow hook on the frame, and the other end to a tree, and throw that bitch in reverse.

good idea, although i have no motor installed to back it up lol, either that or ill just cut out the front end of a 240 from that part of the frame, well a guy locally is bringing is tube bender so will see how that goes

[nrmskate]

Yeah, let me know if you go that route, I have a shell with some frame damage.

Might be interested in trying the tube idea.

Well it all comes Down to cost... I went to see a shell today but 300 bucks! And ALSo small dent on frame... All I need is the tube bender and I will do that, I got a mig welder and plus more space I guess

[godrifttoday]

Well some guy ave me quote 200, but any have a tube bender I may borrow willthrough in some cash?

years ago i bought a supra with a bent frame in the front end. i used tow straps to force that dirty mofo back into place. it can be done, just takes patience

[godrifttoday]

well i decided im just going to look for a shell with straight frame, because 175 for the tubbing not including materials, then i have to weld, and have to make sure fitment is flawless... time and effort and cash, i think its just better to buy a shell if i can find one for cheap... i went to see one for 300 with a ka24de but... frame was also hit just slightly
