Default BOdy Work baby

I wrecked my pretty little sc into a guard wall going about 25mph. the right headlights and bumper took the blunt of the impact. I replaced the bumper headlights and outside plastic body but the right side fender is still bent up and the car body underneath on the right side of the engine is rippled and bent. So it isn't airtight anymore. I could take it to a shop but is there any way I could make the body straight again??

your better off taking it to a shop. I had a turbo saturn and I hit like you did. I asked around and a shop is the best way to get it fixed

I did something similar years ago with my first 400. I pulled the front fenders and bumper, plugged the lights back in and drive it to a shop to have em throw it on the frame machine, then picked it up and put it all back together myself. Only paid like $175 since thy didn't have to go through any hassle with the panels and only had to throw it on the machine and square it up. The less work they gotta do to get it on the machine, the cheaper it will be.
