Default Is this repairable?

Well to make a long story short, i was driving on a freeway on ramp and my tires were still cold and i slid and hit the guard and spun out. I know it looks bad but i just wanted some opinions on if it was repairable or not form people that have experienced it.

It bent the front and broke the tierod end on the front right suspension, and on the rear right i will replace the upper and lower arm, rotor, brake line,hub, ball joints, swaybar, strut and subframe( the one that bolts on.) But im just worried about the frame being able to be repaired or not because im not sure what can be pulled back. thanks in advace.




I already replaced the rear bumper support reinforcement, and nothing else in the rear is smashed.

Im in the process of buying a new S but since, its relatively cheap to buy the suspension components, and i already have the fenders and f&r bumpers, i thought i would just repair this one. i just want to know if i can get the frame pulled back.

i'm sure a body shop would tell you yes.

the question is how much.

your insurance would cover it since it's an accident...so why not ask a body shop?

Well the thing is that i got enough money to pay it off, and now im in the process of buying another one, and i want to fix this one with my own money. And as for the quote for the body, i cant roll the car so i dont know how to get it to a shop, and i dont want to fix the suspension and dive it to a shop to find out that it cant be fixed or will cost too much $$$$.

dont try to ghetto rag it, have it tow and have them put it on the rack.

you can hammer all day and be right on the spot and you will not know it.

good luck, 3-4k?

I would say its doable, i cant tell you on prices, but if it was in Malta, my bodyshop could do it for about $2k.

Here in the States, 2 grand will get two panels painted. There is about 7-10k in damage from start to finish. Your going to need insurance on this one.



Sorry.
