Icon6 **Need Help** Is this fixable?

its bad frame damage and i'm wondering on anyone's opinion whether to fix it or not if it can be fixed.







i have some other stuff to fix as well but not sure about doing it since the frame is busted up like that. or do you think i should just get another car and swap everything over to it? let me know what you think?

that's definitely fixable. You can go to pretty much any frame shop, and they can fit that. It's not going to be perfect, but it'll at least be straighter than what it is now. You'll still see the crease from where it's been hit

how much do you think that would be worth? cause i mean its kinda jammed into the crossmember a bit..? if its over like $600 - $800 i don't think it'll be worth it. might as well get another one with a bad motor (or no motor) and swap all my stuff over at that point.

Every place is different, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't cost that much. Especially for that small of damage. Frame shops deal with bigger damage than that.

what do you mean pulled back? As in they ripped through the threads? If that's the case, you could retap those spots. Another thing you could do if you don't want to take it to a frame shop is to just buy a new radiator support. You'll have to cut your old one off and weld the new one into place. Might be able to get it aftermarket, but you could also try salvage yards.
