hello all HT members ok heres the deal my DB8 (97 Integra) was involved in a front end collision about 5 years ago and of course i got it to run again but at that time i was so broke that i just used a hammer and what ever i had in my hands to make the bumper stay on and the fenders as well lol as you can see from the pixs below however i want to do a jdm front end conversion and new paint job cuz the paint is starting to come off but due to the chassis damage my teggy's alignment wont stay align for very long and go through tires fast and steering wheel will also start to tilt to the left making my tires stright but my steering wheel not . i dont know how much an auto collision shop would charge, or if it will be unoticible when the whole process is done. i also thought about selling my integra and get another one i have seen some out there for sell but to tell the truth my interior is like a 9/10 while others out there want more for something that wasnt taken care of too well and want too much, my engine is over 200k miles but i already have a swap planned out once my engine goes out and by the way iv taken care of it very well so it will not be any time soon so im not to concerned about that. i want to hear from some peeps out there that have gone to a collision repair shop and tell me how there car turn out and what you guys think i should do or expect to happen with all this
thanx!!!

o yeah btw these are pixs when i just finished the job like 5 years ago at that time i put some SI rims then they were stolen so i put my LS mesh back on.... there a pic of the after math...

 

Its turning to the left while going straight? When i do an alignment at the shop and its like that and already aligned nicely, we just crank the steering wheel the opposite way and pull it HARD. that usually works lol

imo, i'd say repaint the bumper to look nice and sell it and try to find a car with engine problems (most likely cheap) and drop your swap in that.

 

lol people these days... so desperate, they gotta steal oem wheels.

 

Take it to a body shop and get an estimate, they are usually free.

If it is not driving straight then that would be a mechanical problem, get that fixed first. Unless it is due to bent sheet metal.

Whatever you do...do not sell it to some UNSUSPECTING buyer without telling them the situation. That just ain't right.

 

Hmm ok I think I'm going to go to a shop anyone know a good shop near the inland empire?

 

ya i know a shop near inland empire just give me time i will give you the address of it..
