Finally... an update for you guys. ;]

It's more than $5,000 worth of nothing.

And that's ONLY the cost to replace the door, quarter panel and straighten the frame back to stock. That's an average of the quotes I've received from more than a dozen shops around here. For 5 grand I could just buy a new car. I love the car, don't get me wrong, but shelling out 5 grand plus the cost of paint just isn't something I want to do.

well I do my own body work and paint. Your more then capable

Oh, and just do it this way, have a shop pull the frame and you can do the rest. No sense in dropping a car.

lol....buy a civic, not another mustang. Keep this mustang for off-roading. Post more pictures after you go off-roading again.

After you completely strip the front end, it will still cost you at least 800 bucks just to have it pulled. I had the frame for my Willy's straightened, and there was a 400 dollar charge just to put it on the rack, plus 100 an hour in labor.

For a Mustang built after 1971, not worth it, she's right, just drive it.

well you must not have friends in a body shop like I do. A 12 pack and 50 bucks is all took for me. Friends are a good thing
