got acura? · 10-29-2007, 08:05 PM

well you see, ive been modifying my 1994 acura integra to the maxx and i love it. but changing core supports earlier i ran into a huge problem. my frame from the winshield up seems to be slightly bent jsut enough to throw everything off fender and door wise. is there a way i can fix it myself if not how much would this cost to correct. i work at mcdonalds and advanced auto parts adn im a full time student so money and time are quite restrictive.
the frame is bent 1 inch toward the driver side. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
hoping my acura can be brought back to life,
jeff

You will have to bring your car to a body shop. When I worked in one it cost $50 an hour for repairs. You can say about $400 to $500 for the repair. Prices vary depending on where you go but it should be around the above price.

more importantly is what caused the warp...an impact of some kind...if the car has been wreck they may not be able to straighten it out to where everything fits perfectly...

Frame bends are tough. My '95 was in a wreck well before I bought it. The right door is about 1/4" off and the dome light comes on around corners. I had to add a pad to the sensor to keep the light off. The light for the glovebox stays on too. Good luck on getting it fixed, they are really tough.
