Default Straightening out a frame/chassis help

ok so this thing all started back in 2005 when i had an epileptic seizure while driving home from school i had an attack at a red, next thing i know woke up on an ambulance dazed without of a clue of what happen... i drove onto incomming traffic and hit three cars anyways i was fine and everyone else but my integra had to be towed as you can see from the pics below... some pics when i just got her and after...

before...






and after... sorry for the crappy pixs off my crappy cell phone at that time... but you get the idea...











as you can see my bro was checking to see what damage was done to the chassis you can see the rotor was broken off... which later on i will find was the least of my worries... had to replace control arms, bent bolts, knuckles, etc...



since i had no money and i was getting medical attention for my epilepsy i had no money to fix her up so i let her stay in the drive way for about three years... it hurt but i worked my *** off for a year until i got laid off sux but had saved up enough to get her running again and she looked like this...






as you can see from the pics my new jdm 93 integra front bumper didnt line up... until my bro took it to work and did some "auto body" work of his own lol made this bumper fit a little better but wasnt going to be normal...
click to watch clip



my front LS meshies were messed up so for the mean time i had my bro SI rims until some fckn thives stole them and ended up like this...



ok so anyways I had saved up and was going to make the inside all black and make the front end all JDM and sawp out the engine and tranny with the help of "Shorsh" of course which is where i purchased my SIR-G seats and panels along with other stuff,










already have all black interior items to go with it...








but i realized that my door on my driver side anlong with the rear driver door had problems closing... like i have to push in the top of the glass to make it go in so that water wouldnt leak through which this worries me... the roof where the moonroof is there is a bent along the end of the glass but the moonroof still works fine although sometimes it does have a problem opening and recently closing all the way :/... ill get some pics of it and put it here tomorrow...


I had enough and was going to sell as is but had put too much money on it already that it wouldn't be worth buying replacement parts on another integra so i wanted to know if there are any good places to take my integra to get a quote on strighting the chassis out around her in southern california? my brother insists for me to just sell it cuz its going to be too much money and for me to get another one that hasn't been on an accident. let me know if you guys know of a place or what you guys think thanx :D

from what i heard straightening frame isn't that hard to do and isn't that expensive, the problem is everything in that section needs to be removed to get to frame which is where most of the labor costs is going to be.

however like the last guy said there's a good chance that they won't be able to make it as perfect as it was originally.

Keep anything off the car that's in good shape and scrap the frame. It's gonna cost a lot of money to fix that and will never be the same. Yes, it sucks, by why dump more money into something you'll never be happy with?

Also, not trying to talk ****, but I have a serious question. How are you allowed to drive if you have epileptic seizures? What if that happens on the freeway? It seems to be putting everyone around you at risk.
