Default 89 Mustang twisted uni body

I have a 89 Mustang with a twisted uni body. The car wonders all over the road when I drive it. I was just wondering how much it will cost to get the car back in alignment.

you would probably be better getting a roller car and swapping everything over

What happened was the car was a drag racing car before I bought it and I guess all the power twisted the uni body. The front tire is out more than the back. I found a guy that can put it on a frame machine that's why i wanted to get some ball park figures before I took it.

I only asked you guys because maybe someone had frame work done on their fox body so I could get an idea of what I'm getting into. I don't think it's that messed up because it isn't accident related.
