Default 93 Civic Del Sol frame repair? What can be done?? Just bought it.

Wassup fellas. I have a question about being able to repair some frame work on my Del Sol. I just bought it a week ago. I got it for $500 with 170k. I think it was a steal. But my concern before it becomes my project car is that when your behind while its driving, the back end looks like its going to the side. Im sure you guys know what Im talking about, because I laugh when I see cars that look like the *** of the car is going to one side!! But I know first thing would be bringing it to a body shop to find out what it is or could be, the only visible hit it has is the front passenger fender, and its not even that big, but I think that could be the cause. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Is it repairable? If so, can the car be drving at track speeds safely?? Thanks guys.

And I threw some pics of the interior!! Check it out, the stock seats were dirty and one had a tear, and I happened to have mint 92 Prelude Si seats lying around, and ****, there so comfortable, and look nice!! Let me know what you think of the seats!!

Ive always disliked Prelude seats so i prefer the stock Del Sols but those Prelude seats are clean. About the driving issue, if the car has a bent unibody thats probably going to be a lot of money to fix. I cant say for sure but i can only imagine what something like that would cost.

When they go down the road like a dog it *usually* means frame-type damage. (or some suspension damage)

Good deal though!
