Opinions please - chassis rail pics - damaged?

This is what i posted on PF when Boxer asked the same thing:
Shows the bit which you are talking about there Nikko.

the more money your willing to spend, the more better condition of a AE86 your going to get, not always this case, but i can safely say this is where money does count
people have found bargains and others have paid more then they should have
if you got enough, import one with a decent rating like 3.5star about 12k..again you can be lucky and find a real good one =]

Might want to measure the wheel base too

Ah, Takai beat me to it! oh well i'll post mine anyway:

[timbo]

my rail as some previous damage, but i've never had a problem with wheel alignments and the car drives straight. if you are really worried get it on a chassis aligner.

[Boxer]

Thanks all,

Consensus is they are bent, yes next step is an aligner(autorobot) but I'm already shying away from such damage. Pity it ticked the boxes otherwise

Oh well, keep looking for the illusive AE86

dood bent chassis rails are not an issue in a car (unless seriously fucked) more of an issue would be doggee repairs on teh rails! my drift car has a bent rail and i think you will find probly 50% of sprinters are not 100% straight fronts of sprinters are weak as piss!!!
