Have you ever delt with a problem like this?
How much money goes into a job like this?

Part of my job is to do wheel alighnments but I am not a body man. We have a contarct to inspect insurnce wright offs/ repairs for a body shop in town and they always need "pulled" I hook them up tell them its out how much and were and they fix it. Doesn't seam to be a huge deal but check with a body shop. Good luck little guy.

There are shops that will pull the frame. Take it to a frame shop full of old hillbillies and ask them what to do. They may MAY be able to take a look and see what would need to be done. I had a frame pulled on a car caost me 600 but probably 350 was to R and R a control arm.

cost me 600 hundred to get my frame pulled tho, but they threw in a new headlight, rad and axle. my car was fucked up bad.

is that 600 cdn?
pretty good.
My brother's mustang got hit from behind, the frame bent a little. They told him it would cost about 500 to fix, so it is fixable.

OR
get a shell and move everything to that new shell, including vins ;), and that's it. You could find a shell for less than 500, but it would be a bitch to swap everything over.

get a quote on fixing the frame.

If its too much find a good used car w/ a blown motor no rust and swap it over.

Re: 1990 honda civic frame bent.
 
I thought of that too....

But when I bought that car I didnt know ---- about cars and what to look for
when buying a used car. Id rather look for some old lady that bought the car
from the dealer ship and has never messed with anything on the car, such as alarms
and sound system crap.

I was going to get a quote today but iam feeling sick and it was raining over here.
Ill go in a few days, and then get back to you guys and tell u what iam going to do.
