Well a couple weeks ago, On my 24th birthday lol. I unfortunately got rear ended by a newer Jeep, while stopped at a cross walk for a pedestrian. Thankfully no one got hurt and the other guy had insurance but my s14 zenki on the other hand had $3300 worth of damages and was determine a total loss. so I bought the car back and now I have searched high and low for any kind of measurements from the where the fuel tank is located to where the trunk latch is. If anybody could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks,
Ryan

Fuel tank is behind the passenger seats. Its under the raised deck section behind the seats in the trunk. Take the carpet off and you should see a gray cover held down by 4 screws, that's the access to the gas tank.

Yes I know that... I need the measurements from both left side, right side, and center of the raised deck section back towards the rear of the car where the lower trunk latch is located

The FSM has all dimensions for the chassis.

What jr_ss is saying, is that all the measurements you need can be had in the factory service manual.

why do you need the measurements from where the gas tank is to the trunk latch??does make sense? Your car needs to be put on a frame rack to be stretched back out. Aint no homeboy ghetto car repair is gonna get that back to spec. You need a fixed system to anchor it down. Or you could get a couple of steel cables attached to a winch and anchor it to a tree. A couple of steel plates to suck the bumper reinforcement back out with a air ratchet. Its a couple of holding bolts to bend the bracket where the bumper reinforcement inserts to the frame. Lol.

Forget it guys... this was just a complete waste of time for a couple simple measurements that is all. I came here to get help but I guess I will figure it out myself..
