As above, does anyone have a garage/bodyshop in my area, Grantham, Lincs. To check my car after my crash, I dont think it bent, but im not and expert, and it will be better to be safe and sorry if im going to put a lot of time into fixing her.

i thought any local bodyshop would have ways and means of telling ya mate,otherwise how would they know when to jig it? just a non educated guess mind you

the worst id think you would have is a leg moved a little bit or a bit of flitch damage, certainly nothing to hard atal, i seem to remember you burrying it in a hedge?

Yeah up a kerb, hit a sign and into a hedge, I just want it checking before I start putting too much money into it. I'm going to put a new rack on it, new tca and steering arms then I can move it, but I don't know id it's worth putting it on a jig or laser tracking thing.

There are some pics in one of my other threads. If anyone want more pix I can email them over

see one pic looks like not a lot of body damages just suspension? i would be changing rack arm hub strut etc, get it tracked i would imagine then fine but i havent really seen the damage

if all the front end panels still line up , i.e. even bonnet gaps to the wings and wing gaps to the doors then id think it highly unlikely youv bent a rail, im a panel man by trade and know how to use a jig and strighten a car,

normaly when a rail has moved not only does it a take a fair hit to move/bend 1 but you will see that other things have moved or changed around that area, fresh paint cracks on the rail , split sealer along joins on inner wings and chassis rail to the bulkhead, little thins like this can be a good give away before you break out the tape measure

found your pics of that crash and you defonaly wouldent have bent a rail from that , althogh id get the suspention geo check done , hitting the kerb hard wont have done your wheel , leg , or tca any good thats for sure

oh and btw nice s2 mate !!
