Im looking for a roller and found one with everything i want, but the catch is it has been hit in the front and may have frame damage. Is this fixable? I know LMR sells apron and fender replacements..

Heres the ad. I dont know if it will work tho.

not even worth the hassle that will bring

you will have a lot of money into it to get it going again

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I've got a 4cyl calypso hatch I just bought for interior parts and it breaks my heart the car is so clean, but hit in the front and a total loss. Not a speck of rust anywhere too. Sucks would've been a great project. Not many calypsos left..

I'll play the other side. I would like to see the front. Decent car from the pics. A radiator support if needed is cheap as heck and its already torn down for install. If it needs pulled on a frame rack to align it first it would cost about $250 at a good shop here. It don't scare me one bit. I'd pay that in a second. But I'm a body guy.

Ok upon further investigation it looks like the passenger side rail is swayed pretty bad. There again, my frame guy could probably straighten it depending on how bad the end of it is beat up. A rail is more in depth and costly, but still not horrible but much more time and money.
