frame damage!

This is a picture of the frame damage on my car is this bad? The guy before me was drunk and hit a parked car after he fell asleep at the wheel its on the drivers side of the car..

If that isn't jack damage, the car would have to hit really hard and in a strange way to buckle the frame rail upwards in that one spot... And if that's the case, I would bet good money on at least some handling issues as well as interior issues. Also, it's hard to see in the pic, but that damge looks isolated and the other side of it doesn't seem to be crushed inward and upwards.

I think you are looking at a combination of jack damage and maybe some further tweaking of it due to the wreck... or vice-versa.

well it was only hit on the drivers side of the car...i havent really checked or noticed the seat being any different i will have to check when i get home.. it was hit real hard..idk where my best bet is tho..i found a good shell for 500 but i love my car and dont wanna get rid of her for another..Well to give you a better idea, say your wheel was turned all the way to the left and the you shoved it back into the car at like 20 or 30mph..thats what happend..

Well it makes me feel better after posting pics i thought it was the worst thing in the world at first ...i would really like to see the pics if you could post them thanks alot..i just dont know what would cause the back end to ride crooked like that..

Here ya go. Like I said, I don't know what happend, but it's not pretty. With a wide angle, it actually looks a bit worse...

The brake lines looked like they were damaged, but closer inspectioned showed no damge, just slight bending....

The driver side looks like it was dragged or something...the indentations at the start on both sides likes like it was dropped on stands...but I don't know...

note the single peace exhaust pipe...it's all welded together...

I would take it to a body shop and have them do a cross measurement on the whole car to see if its square and to check out the suspension. If I was still working at my old shop, I would have supplied you with the cross measurements for the underbody so you could measure yourself.

Thanks for the pics..yea my brake lines looked like they were damaged to but its just a bend in them..When i get the ecu back i will have to take it to a shop right away..If it was hit hard enough to wear it did bend up like that would it make the back end drive crooked?

 

[Calan]

I would definitely think so

yes it will

No it won't, yes it will push it up a little bit but not that much. As you can see in the bigger pictures he posted after there is much more then a jack can do.

I'll have to have it looked at for sure, i just wish i could do it right now but with all the snow were getting here it sux!! Its still gonna be a couple weeks prob cus i dont have an ecu to move the car, i looked into just buying a non eprom till i get mine back but there still like a 100bucks...o well soon enough, I really appreciate the help from everybody. But if i were to pull the frame how much would i end up spendin i guess im asking is it worth it to stick the money into the car or could i buy a shell cheaper you know? But come on how many purple 1ga gsx's do you see haha
