allen405 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I discovered some front passenger side frame damage on my new project. I'm not upset at all, I just want to put it up here to see what you guys would do. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/allen405/2012-03-05174414.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/allen405/2012-03-05174449.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/allen405/2012-03-05174629.jpgYou can see that the left frame rail is bent upwards a little. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/allen405/2012-03-05174946.jpgLet me know what you guys think or how I can straighten.

Frenchi934 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 i would see what i could do with a pry bar/ hammer/ dolly etc. then take a few measurements and if its within a fraction of an inch or so id let it ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87TsiOwner Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 i bet a guy that knows his way around a frame machine could straighten that out in a couple hours back to factory specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Frame machine can take that out in a few minutes. Mine was probably 5 times worse and the guy had my car back in a day, cost me $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen405 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've been thinking about that but I would need to apply downward pressure and I can't figure out how I can do it because the top would have to be rigid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I guess I'm getting a little ocd about cleanliness as I get older. My first thought when I saw the pics was "he should clean that". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I forgot about the wreck it was in. The previous owner t-boned a lady in that corner. You should be happy to know that her rav4 was a taco afterward, and he drove the quest home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
