Thanks!

Its not looking so hot right now due to the recent wreck, but I'm debating on what to do with it at the moment.


I've taken measurements on both strut towers, they are equal. So no bending has happened. Everything else looks fine within the tower as well. I mentioned a possible hole, but it is not as serious as I thought. Tiny really, grind out the bad and reinforce, if even needed.

All the damage was done to the lower control arm that supports the strut attached to the suspension crossmember.

As well one tie-rod is bent. Reviewing some documents it would appear it is not such a bad repair after all. None of the mounting points for the suspension crossmember itself appear bent. Just the bushings within the control arm appear torn.

Thinking of taking the funds and repairing it. Need to look into FL salvage laws since I'll eventually have to title it here.


well good luck man .... if you dont fix it ,,,, grab another celly bomb >>6th gen all the way >>

cant stop wont stop
