Got my Frame Fixed!!!

Well, in the winter of 2006, I took a Trip off the side of a snow covered gravel road into a 10' deep ditch.  My frame was pushed about an inch on the driver's side.  About 3 weeks ago, I took it to a body shop, and had them fix it.  They pulled it out, and you almost can't even tell, except for the color difference.  I got the header put on, and the fender from FLSTCI71.  (Thanks a bunch!!)

When I first bought her:


After the Ditch:


This is what she looks like now:



It turned out pretty good, all I need to do now, is get the underside sand blasted, and have some bed liner sprayed on it.  Then get the rust fixed in various places.

Yea, talk to my mom about that one.  She wanted me to take it to the JY.  It's my first driveable car, and I intend to keep it that way for a long time.  Anyone know where i could get a 2.3t & t5?

of course the new panel is straight, lets see pics of the frame.  I had a kid do that to my cat when I sold it to him.  To properly fix it, I had to cut out the bent rail and weld in a new one.  Not a fun job, but you cant even tell I did it.  Nice work on the cat, time for a sig update.
