Default bent unibody??

how hard is it to bend or screw the body up. i can buy a hf for $200.00 but he hit a tree and pushed in the fender and the hood and i belive he might of snaped the axel on the driver side.is there any thing that i should look for?
also a friend is having some trouble with his fuel injectors to be truthful we dont have clue to where they are.he also has a set of koni struts that hes having trouble with. he tried to make one stiffer by turing the nipple but the hole nut moved with it. we cant figure this out ether. thanks for your help. sorry about the spelling.

The fender and hood have nothing to do with the frame of the car, unless you damage the parts under that then you should be ok.

Fuel injectors are usually right behind the valve cover on most MPFI cars and on the throttle body on a DPFI car. They have green plastic on them.

As for the strut I think you mean you are turning the nut but the metal tube part is turning. You need to either use a hex wrench to hold the tube and a box end wrench to turn the nut, or a an adjustable wrench and the box end wrench to turn it. The tube needs to be held from moving so the nut can tighten it.

Be careful if there is frame damage it can be VERY expensive to fix!!!

i would say, check the interior under the carpet for damage.... i'm pretty sure a junkyard would pay him around $200 for it (parts undamaged are definately worth more,) so it's weird he would sell it for that.
