Anything is fixable as long as you have love for the car. My wife loves her 1972 Toyota crown. There is extensive damage to the roof but she doesn't care. She will do or pay what ever it takes to restore it. It is her passion

Ah shit ur right I didn't catch that till just now, notice how I had no effin clue what video he was talking about when he brought it up later... I guess I was just gettin a little trigger happy but thank you for pointing that out. Whatever my bad sorry about the attack but it still doesn't change the fact that that kid tellin the OP that if he can't "figure it out on his own he should sell it and buy a Honda" is useless douche-baggery

Take off all the panels and beat/pull the metal out until it goes back together ok. Example: my old cressida. I crashed it having some fun and fixed it myself with a come-along, an engine hoist and a really big hammer. and "fixed" a few hours later It's janky and you need to get a little creative but as long as you havent totally trashed your frame where all your suspension arms mount too you should be fine. I think mine was a little tweeked but I adjusted it out with some new arms. Don't be a weenie. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you gave it a try.

It's really not that bad. Just get some detail shots of one that isn't smashed, and hammer and bend it all back to shape. a days work, tops. Replace what you absolutely need to along the way.

i was actually going to ask if anyone knew of any REPUTABLE body shops. My quarter panel looks like JAWS jumped out and bit me. -_- for the car to look clean, it needs to be fixed and painted. any input would be great.

Nothing Duct Tape couldn't fix!!!
But forreals, it looks repairable. Rip off the fender and bumpers to see how much carnage there is underneath. Core support and the side can easily be cut out and replaced or tubed. |

It's not beyond repair. You can do it the ghetto way as people have explained earlier, or you can get a tube frame like the first response said. Doing it right requires getting it on a lift and having people check to see if your subframe has moved, what needs to be done, etc. You have to decide how much the car is worth to you. If it is a possibility to buy another cheap shell and swap your stuff over then do that.
I'm fixing my 96, I jumped a curb and my passenger side frame caved in. It's a perfect shell besides the front so I'm getting a tube front, I'm still shopping around for a decent shop I think I failed to mention it will cost a shit ton of money. Always makes sense to start over if its a possibility. Once you get the motor out, everything else pretty much falls off. |
