Look at this picture tell me if car has been wrecked or is bent
Pulled up my rear carpet the other day and found this gap I thought looked pretty weird. The car has lived most of its life driven by a female trooper and lg4 powered. I have had some pretty stout motors in it over the years but never really pounder on it too too bad, the car does NOT currently have subframe connectors.

This car had original paint when I bought it and to my knowledge has never been wrecked, is this chassis flex or normal?

100% normal. That's just a filler panel for the floor above the gas tank/pass frame rail.

No that's really bad, consider it a total loss. I'll take it off your hands cheap to be a nice guy
