I am new to this forum and I have a couple of questions that i need help answering. I have a 1997 mustang gt that was in a accident and it has damage to the radiator core support, front passenger side fender, hood, bumper, and the crush points attached to the front of the car, and it bent up where you mount the fender on the passenger side. The rest of the body is in very good shape, but the drivers side fender is now rubbing a little bit with the door. After i took off all of the damaged body parts i started to look and see if the frame was bent and noticed that right in front of where you put the springs in car on the passenger side the frame looks like it is bent towards the drivers side of the car. The car has only 97,000 miles on it, and the motor and transmition are both really strong. My questions are should i try and get the frame straightned, and get a front clip and replace all the damaged parts? Or look for a mustang gt roller and swap my parts into that car? If anyone has any advice that would help me i would really appricate it.

Thanks

Yea I vote fix it . These things are weak they bend easy. Just get the frame pulled. You can get a new rad support for cheap bumper shocks too all that. Depending on color you can probably find all the right color parts as well

That is really what i want to do. Do you have any clue what it would cost, and what would be a good place to take it to?

I would do a google search, or look in the yellow book of the local shops in the area. Then call around to see who does the best work. Latemodelrestoration.com sells everything you will ever need. Could be slightly pricey, but they have pretty much almost everything.

I have found a couple of rollers, and parts cars around where i live. Im going to see what will be the best deal for me to get and go from there. I am hoping that i can get a good deal on the parts i need, and get the frame straightned and fix the car that i have.

thanks everybody for the advice
