Yay, join the club. I've gone after the frame rails on my car with a hammer and some scrap steel to get it back into shape. Red cars must be cursed....

I might just cut the core out and replace it. I have done this to another car but never a 240. Turned out to be a pretty big project.

HAHA. Duct tape and Zip Ties hold half of my car together. Floor pans made of duct tape and plywood work the best.
