RE: Move K member forward?
Just a thought but maybe those aren't OEM fenders that got put on after the wreck and the wheel cutouts are a bit different...dunno. Maybe measure your wheelbase and compare it tosomebody else's to see if they are the same. Just something else to check before buying parts.

RE: Move K member forward?
Most K members REQUIRE new tubular A arms and coil overs. If you don't want that, then look at the cobra A arms and/or the Granatelli K member with spring perches. I think PA Racing also offers perches on theirs.
It could be that the body shop that did the work had to drop the K member and reinstalled it too far back (if that's possible). If so, then move it forward, but make sure you get your measurements right or your tracking will be screwed.

Well let us know if the K-member moves forward or not. Mine looks like it's back a bit as well but not as far as yours. I sure like the way Jimbo's look.

Also.. this is the K member I am considering buying from my friend.. how would this effect the way it sits?

My front end looks EXACTLY the same, in terms of positioning.. I was just going to go w/ the new K-member and Control arms to rememdy that.. I figured that's how they came, since my front end has always looked like that, before and after the accident..

Looks like were it attaches to the frames there is room for some forward adjust.
