    First post in here yay..

    Half Way through pulling the 4ac out of my project today I noticed that I had somehow overlooked the fact that the drivers side chassis rail is bananad.
    What I thought was just a bent tip from a glancing blow is actually a lot worse.
    Taking the shell to sheen panels tomorrow 'cause evidently they have a machine that might be able to fix it..
    I'm seriously in the pits atm though I feel sick just thinking about it.

    Sorry for the rant, just needed somewhere to vent and here seemed appropriate.

    Tyrone.

    Put up some pics... bent rails aren't as bad as they sound if the engine is outta the car... With the right tools aka oxy / aligner they can be a 10-15 min fix excluding paint.

    I will genuinely be amazed if it's that easy. Nothin ever seems to go that way for me.
    Paint doesn't matter, it's booked in for a respray on Thursday.
    I'll take photos and update build thread when I finish pulling the engine out.

    This is what it is supposed to look like:

    This is what it does look like:



    And this is all I spotted first which is why I thought it was just a glancing blow.

    Engine, wiring etc is all removed.
    Sheen is sending out a panel beater to inspect but the office guy recons it wont be too hard judging from the photo's.

    If it's less then $500 i'll be stoked..
    will just have to wait and see...

    seen worse man. worst thing about chassis damage is if it gets defected for it. if its not defected (im guessing its not) itll be fine.

    99% of all chassis are not completely straight from factory so i wouldnt worry. body blokes and those chassis straightening machines usually get the body straighter than factory
