frame damage found! --- updated pics! (56k users go to a friends house with cable)

[Zalec]

i was going to fix it myself, but i found frame damage so that ruined that idea. the car is currenty in my uncle's back pole barn in romulus, hes on vacation right now but when i went over there to get the mail and sh*t i called him and said i needed to use the trailer and his f250. he said i cant cuz it doesnt have valid plates on it right now on the trailer. so i gotta think of a different way to get it back to ann arbor and to zahn's collision (they gave me the best esimate of like 20 places)

crash site (from what i know the car was at the top of the driveway near the garage)

1) You do realize your car has no frame.
2) you do realize your car has a rear "SUB" frame and a front "SUB" frame
3) you do realize frame damage is underneath the car... your pics are just showing the trunk area

I'm kinda doubting you have actual sub frame damage... more than likely what you have is just bent floor pans.... unfortunately when they bent they also streched, so you would need to pound them back into shape using a special hammer that shrinks the metal as you hit it (forget the name of hammer)....

oh yeah and you'll need a new 5mph bumper too....

Wow, She really owes you now! :rofl:

Only way to shrink metal is with heat. Oxyacetylene torch until it becomes red hot, lightly tap the center of the red-hot area with a pick-ended hammer and immediately apply a sponge with cool water over the spot. There might be more advanced ways of doing it but thats the only way I know how.

If you have never done it before I would leave it to the experts.

whatever same [censored]. i know its a unibody. im callin it frame because well its actual structual damage. i wish i would have took inside pics of the trunk where all the panels are removed. my spare tire has no where to go now. its all bent in. no there cutting off like whole back end and welding another one on, or sticking it on a frame bender and try to pull it out. but they said its not salavable. [censored]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i should have really took pics from the inside of the trunk.


edit: the whole car shakes like the Magnum at cedar point when you drive it, and its not looking like i wont have it back before summers done.

But, on a unibody the majority of the car is structural support. (And basically part of the entire "frame" of the car.)

As an example, when my hood went up and hit the roof, it actually weaked the entire structure of the car, because the pillars moved, and the roof sunk. It took a ton of pressure to "snap" it back into place, where it should have been. It's amazing how much damage you can do to a unibody with a little "bump".
