just measure your diagonals,theres holes and bolts that are the same either side,xmembers, diff mounts, your rails ,if ones longer or shorter than the other it aint square.and check your gurd bolts diagonly from front r to the rear left then do opposites ,it aint rocket science ,or u can measure your points with a plum bomb mark them on ground roll car forward then just measure your markings u left on the ground

Anyone know the rough cost of getting a chassis straightened? My mate hit a gutter in his AE71 and bent it and being the cheapo he is, wants to fix it himself...

Is it relatively cheap or is it easy to fix on your own?

there are SOME measurements in the AE86 manual, but they are not comprehensive measurements across the whole car.
