Default how much to jig an rs turbo

how much would it be to sort this on a jig?

is it needed, or can it be done without...




and also how would you repair this?

I wouldnt want to drive that after its been "repaired". surely thats a write off? would you be better buying aother shell and re-shelling it? would be cheaper than jigging a bent shell

i reversed into a wall a few weeks ago at about 25 mph (dont ask!)...

i wasnt bothered at first but now im REALLY missing it

ive got a mk4 cab but tbh it needs alot of work too... it just doesnt seem 100%, needs new front wings, new paint on most if not all panels., and im sure something isnt right with the suspention... plus when it rains it leaks like twat because the drivers door has sagged...

its got a mint roof though!





would you swap the engine into the cab? (considering my s2 was pretty mint, and the cab isnt )

Not worth it IMHO.

so many ERST's being broken, one must have a decent shell.

Once repaired, it'll never be the same again.
