I bought a 95 integra that was crashed from a HT member. I have a serious problem. The frame is bent and I bought a new fender and tried to install it. I'm basically getting all the parts in and now I dont think I can put all the pieces back because the fact that the frame is bent. I couldnt even tell it was the frame untill my girl told me. So my question is.... is there any possible way to bend it back by myself or do I need to take it to the shop. If I need to take it to the shop how much do you think it would cost? Its unnoticable with the fender off but when its on its very obvious. Is there anyway I can just replace that section? I need all the help I can get here. Thanks All!

If it's not real bad then take it to an experienced frame shop. I used to work at one. Now I got the cars after the other fella there had them on the frame rack most of the time, but we saved allot of cars that would otherwise have been made into cubes. We did things old school, using a four post Hunter alignment rack with come-alongs to pull the frame at strategic locations. No harm in getting it checked out at least. They should have an alignment rack there to, and can check for thrust line and setback. Angles not usually paid much attention anymore.

 

Thanks TimoneX... anyone else have suggestions?
