Just bumping this thread. Definitely reconsidering.

It has been brought to my attention that my chassis is most likely bent. I understand this is very expensive to fix and many people have told me to call it quits and start over.

How much could I get for my car if I sold it with stock wheels, seats and no stereo?

perfect interior and straight panels are only useful if you are trying to sell it to a wrecker or parting it out.

i would be finding another rear subframe and making sure its not just the subframe causing a problem. also if the top of the strut tower was bent, a strut brace wouldn't fit properly. so test that by putting a strut brace on there.

I have a strut brace here. It doesn't have bolts and stuff though. Can I still try to fit it?

I really wish my workmate was here.. I could use his TRD one.

..Is the stock X brace meant to be bent? It's bent in a different place on each side.
