Nice yo. I had my car up at a frame shop and they pulled the passenger side quarter panel and inner frame rail out. The car came out great and drives straight. Next year I would like to throw the car up on the frame puller again to laser line check the front end of the car. When the last owner put the car into the ditch the front end was pushed up slightly. The crash bar took most of the impact after noticing how much it twisted. The hood shuts great and everything else lined up. But that's just me I'm a bit O.C.D. about the car. Someday I'll rite up a blog on my project as well as the painstaking journey I went to have it restored, but due to family situations and me starting school in the next few months has put the project on hold.
Don't mind me posting pics. Since I got chewed out for thread jacking. We are on the same subject line of "U.S. guys take a bit more care of their cars".
I should have taken a closer pic of the T-bone damage. The passenger door was replaced when I bought the car. The previous owner had the body shop do a cheap hack job fix on the door. They hammered in on the inner door skin near the door jam just to have the door shut. The door jam area was severely mangled I went ahead and spent a good chunk of money on a new used door from Florida and lucky me it was the same color as my car.
