I found an 88 GT last night that has been wrecked in the front, guy wants 1500 bucks, problem is the front substructure looks like it's been pushed over towards the drivers side a bit. The rest of the car other than the front end is immaculate, with 89,000 miles. How hard is it to strighten the substructure back up once it's been tweaked? Please answer as qucik as possible because I don't think this car will last long.

i have had frames straighten on other vehicles but never on a mustang .. from experience its a very big job and it never comes out the way you want it .. it will always be off .. just my opinion .. i would consider getting it and possibly parting it out?</P>

1500 is too much I bet it has a salvage title if the owner had good ins...ask about that....your look at 1k to get it back depending on how bad

I had already asked about the title and it was clear, Thanks for the info. but I had decided to go ahead and buy it but by the time I went to the bank and got back home they called and said they just sold it. Oh well easy come easy go!!!</P>

youll be gald you dont want a frame damage stang. unless you can do the job yourself and are a salvage rebuilder its not worth the hassle.
