Repair after track damage...

BGTV8 · 07-20-2019, 05:16 PM

I have had track accident damage repaired on the cheap at my local trade school where they teach automotive panel repair - the students get real keen working on a "race car" and the instructors make sure its a good job.

If there is such an training institute local to you, it can be a very effective fix - you pay for parts and the school effectively pays for the labour.

Can take a while .........

Biggest issue is the rear quarter damage.

In the machined metals classes we faced blocks and bored em out ect. Was a lot of fun and great way to interact with real world machining jobs. When we were done they went back to automotive classes and reassembled.

Sorry about the damage OP.

The front is easy to fix if the frame horn isn't twisted.

On the rear. Looks like the rear rim is broken. I would start looking for more damage under the rear.
