here is the deal w/ the car:
it sat in the keys for months and months becuase some rich ass lady bought it for her house down there... (she lived in n.c.) so it sat w/ the back end out and it burned the stiching on the back window out so i had to get a new one, all the tires and belts and shit were replaced because they were dry rotted becuase the car didnt run for a long time...
and as for the cross member and tie rods... lets just say it involved full boost in 1st gear and a sweeping left and corner and a curb... a little bend here and there but it is all fixed w/ absolutely positivly no frame damage... no accidents in this car, the only paint work is on the trunk because it of course sat out in the sun as well...
