ok now that u see what im working with lets hear what you would do to repair this. im not going for looks, i want the jam to be straight n work. i bought this car in an effort to save its life. IT IS A BUDGET BUILD!

i have overfenders on the way as we speak. wondering if anyone has dealt with this being that most of u guys go sideways lol (car was hit so no fun involved with this damage).

someone out there will sell you a shell for cheap... find one of those, and buy it.

go to junk yard and find another 240sx, cut the door jam off then cut off then cut it off of your car and weld it in place...

OR

remove inside interior panels and seats and kick the shit out of it until you're tired. use a hammer and dolly if possible to try and line up the rest....if you have a dent puller or are close to an autozone they rent out dent pullers and go that route...

personally, if you plan on drifting this thing, and don't car so much about looks as you said, just bet the door jam enough so that the door opens/closes properly and go have fun...overfenders i guess since you already ordered them.

just my 2cents

im curious on what happened.. cuz pretty much we all will assume you were drifting and smashed against the wall.
