Frame issue

[emd513]

Alright guys i hope this want hurt me to bad but im affraid it will have to stay the way it is. On my driver side front frame where the original toe hooks mount to right be hind the radiator is crinkled about a quarter of an inch to a half of an inch. Is there any way to fix that. Can i cut another tegg right there about an inch behind there on mine and weld the new section on there or am i screwed and will have to deal with it.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THAT

THIS IS A LITTLE HARDER TO SEE BUT IT IS AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT IF YOU CANT FIND IT

ALSO THIS SECTION IS ALL MANGLED FROM WHERE THE PREVIOUS OWNER WRECKED THE CAR IN TO A MAIL BOX AND TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. HOW DO I REPLACE THAT SECTION. DO I HAVE TO GRIND OUT THE WELD ON THE BACK AND WELD ANOTHER ONE ON THERE AND WHERE WOULD I FIND ONE SO I CAN

Referring to the frame, without a frame stetching machine not much you can do. I don't see it causing problems being so close to the front though. As for that last piece of metal, which looks like the area the headlight bolts onto.. well what's it mattered if it's a bit messed up?

If you can't just hammer it out, then yeah, cut out a piece from another car and weld it into yours.

You should see the front of my car under the fender and lights.. It's not so pretty lol.

the last pic i need to replace that section all the bolts are broke off in the holes and i dont think it will be fieasable to extract and re tap

Ohh I see. Well get to it. As for the frame, I don't think it will be a problem unless it's effecting something.

well my front cross member bolts right under that spot so that means that it has the tranny in a tight bind. and also has my driver traction bar pressing on the lower control arm. im just affraid with the kind of power im wanting to throw to it that it will brake shit really quick. but i cant afford to go buy another car.

You could probably have an auto shop fix it up for you.. like I said to really fix it, your probably going to need a frame-stretching machine.
