Man these are uni-body cars. I have a formula I bought to gut and race but decided to restore cuz it's a 1994 Formula V8 hardtop no option car which you don't find much. It was hit in the pass front from the side and the nose was shifted 6 3/4 inches to the left. I had a guy pull it back over and you can't even tell it was hit both cosmetically and driving wise. He only charged me $300.

If you car is that far off and the guy is quoting you $1000 he is probably referring to trying to tweak the whole car back including the flooring which you can probably see tweaked under the car if you good enough.

If its that bad, I'd say part it out and start over with another car. Youll make more parting it out than what you paid anyways.

Yeah, part it out. Guys are dying to get their hands on 98+ front end conversions, doors, interiors, hatches etc.
good luck!

$2800 that's damn cheap but was it worth and is it safe to drive?

the better question is there a t-top that doesnt leak

shanemilleresp

yah guys trust me its totally safe it just has frame damage and it sits a lil crooked, and its because of the frame damage that i had that problem i just need to find some cheap place that will just pull my frame for me if yall know any in the houston area let me know

AxisOfOil

mine don't.

trouble is... the entire front half of my front window does... right up until the t-top... then it doesn't leak one bit. lol.
