Chassis

[macc nova]

During my crash i have bent the front chassis, the part where the front panel is connected to. what is the best way to fix it? Should i just hammer it out then weld a new front panel on or what any help please?

Which bit?
The chassis leg(s), where the towing eye is?

Or the bottom cross member?

[Mike]

Reshell, its easier

[John]

remove the front panel, and staighten it out with some bodywork tools.

a re-shel isnt easier, by the time you find a shell, **** it

i fixed it by cutting out as far as you can find a bent bit then just weld in a new straight bit.

Re-shells are piece of pish lol lol just swap everything like for like! Finding a mint shell is the easy bit IMO, your just not looking hard enough

sorry i havent replied sooner but my computer was broken, all the front has been pusd down and back, the bottom cross member is bent and pushed back the inner arches are bent by the steering rack. I would need the whole lot pulled out before welding on the front panel ???

bttt if i was going to fix it what would be the best way to get it all straight?

[General Baxter]

sorry to say it mate, your going to need a reshell, as if i read it right, where you said its bent, its going to need some special jigging
