What ? Total BS ! I have personally seen what magic VSTECH can do by eye and pulling things out by hand. I could not tell ANY damage on the car I am getting and he did that freelance. I am impressed ! Actually, he was pretty nit-picky about pointing this and that out, so my bet is on a pull a long and a tractor from the Beverly Hillbillies.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Mark, but a 123 is a FAR cry from a 124 and your car did not have NEARLY this much damage...
I'm not sure I can fix this myself. I compared it to the undamaged 93 I've got nearly stripped, and WOW there is a lot of metal missing/crumpled on that car... and NOTHING to attach straps or chains to for the straightening...

Well post up some more pictures of the bent stuff - I'm sure you'll get enough advice here...
