- Tue May 25, 2010 5:41 pm #196714 Hey guys,

Was fitting a lip, and my front right wheel is absolutely fucked, but like. the chassis is anyway. My left wheel has abour 3inch from the front of the bumper, an 3in of the back of the wing. However cut to the right side. it has about half an inch from the front bumper an about 3inch from the back.
the bumper is lined up, as the light's wont fit otherwise, an they're both lined up with the wings.

Is this just a bent chassis?

sorry about my terrible writing, I'm in such a piss right now.

Or put it on a frame straightener.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

Note - That is taken from perfectly horizontally lol. Also my lights'n everyhting don't sit flush. reckon it's possible to fix myself?

[Also, I know my ride's stupidly high, see build thread for a piece of mind xD]

wait, what?
you use inches?
i thought you brits were metric!
you want to be on level ground when you adjust your body parts (bumpers, fenders, lips, etc) as well as suspension.

- Thu May 27, 2010 8:05 pm #197268 Us good brits use inches, as my family don't understand "about 30 cm" they need to be told "like 12 inches" instead haha.
and yeah, my problem is i normally work on a slope, you can see behind and left, the really steep hill.... Yeah, that's my road. haha.

I always have to drive down the road to do work lol.

But anyway! on topic - found the killer, the big sh-pow, the painful potty...


that's after I've straightened the chassis bit as much as possible. I think I need a new one lol. anyone know what they're called?
