Alright, first off I know this is insane, I know that it's not worth it etc...
All that aside, I have a parts car that has messed up frame rails in the front end. It slammed into a divider on a highway going pretty fast and bent the tips of the rails to the side and crumpled them a bit. They are damaged to about 3" inside the radiator support area, still well before the sway bar mounts. The radiator support is hosed as well but thats no big deal to cut off and weld a new one on. The rest of the front end is in spec, I checked it up against another supra.
I would appreciate any input as how to best attempt to correct the ends of the frame rails. I was considering cutting them off with a z cut past the point where they crumpled and welding ones on from another car. I'm really only looking to be able to correctly mount the front bumper and also provide decent regidity to the nose.
