Hi Everyone,
Well the donor frame is completely stripped of all mechanicals, and ready to
be painted. Here's my dilemma:
1) The LH (US. Drivers side) rear fender mounting bracket is a bit bent
toward the front of the car.
2) The LH "wing" strap mounting bracket is broken off.
3) I think (NOT SURE YET) that the LH rear side of the frame is about 1/4
inch higher than the RH side.
No other obvious damage...
Maybe it had a slight rear ender (no crass jokes please!!!)
I have measured the frame using the diagonal method in the service manual
(acutally on the frame though, not using plum bobs) and it seems to be
untwisted - within a few 16ths of an inch. If, when I measure the vertical
heights, I find that the rear LH side IS higher, but the frame is not
twisted, what do I do?
Can I leave it or do I have to get it straightened??
Thanks!
Wayne
