1990 Mustang GT Torque Boxes?
Just bought a 90 GT a few days ago and I think the subframe is twisted. When I went to put the car on a lift I had to have a friend lift up on the L/F fender to get the lift arm under it. I then measured from the floor to the top of each wheel well and there is about a 1" difference from the L/R wheel well to the R/F wheel well. My friend had also showed me that the roof was buckled from the car twisting. Is the car even worth putting money in to or is it pretty much f*cked? Will torque box reinforcements fix this or at least stop it from getting worse?

Replacing the torque boxes won't fix a twisted chasis. Also a weak spring or a misadjusted fender could also cause your measurements to be off. A more acurrate measurement would be actually measuring from the frame to the floor on the front left and the front right. Just be sure to hit the same spot on both sides. Also a body shop with a frame machine could help you out as well.
