Well after a trip to the alignment shop in the fastback to it would appear I did a little bit of damage to it ]:(
Looks like I need to twist the car straight again. I fell asleep at the wheel back in December and put 'er in a ditch. I went in so hard that the windshield cracked and the passenger side door's been pretty stiff since.
Probably safe to say the car's a little tweaked up front. :rolleyes: The toe is in on the front left ( / ) and the toe is out ( / ) on the front right. The camber follows similarly. Castor is 1.0 degree on the left and 2.4 on the right.
I left the papers in my truck so I'm just going off memory here - it may not be 100% correct.
I'm gonna take a guess and say the front left has been pushed up and back. :unsure:
Having said that, I'm going to have it straightened but I have no idea where to have it done.
I know there are a few body guys here (Matt,Chris,Lanny,Jay) so I'm wondering if anyone can/will do it or can recommend someone that will.
Cheers!

Brother's auto body in langley. You will be treated fairly. :D
All I have here for straightening is a tree , telephone pole and a comealong :wacko:

Chris is right, you need specialized equiptment for that, and my pail of Bondo and chicken wire won't cut it.
Just a thought though, any chance the front beam is tweaked? just replace the front end and be done with it.

I've got some floor pots and a widow maker puller here. Its an old Guy chart. Got some attatchments but limited on chain. We can probably try it if you want. It's not my strongest hat for sure but we can try?????? :unsure:
