recently? no not even close. he had it on a frame machine and had it "straightened", but its far from being fixed and will never be right again.

@86 insurance said the frame was bent but i sort of dont believe that. anything can be fixed if you have the time money and resources. but im sure the amount it would have costed to fix it would have bought a much nicer one. this had like 154k miles on it. the only good was that it was super clean 0 rust on the chassis and body(that i can remember) and the engine never smoked or leaked.

@rob damn thats crazy like i said, anything can be fixed with the time money and resources
