Frame damaged. What to do? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So some of you guys may have seen my last thread with my sad car trying to find some part numbers. I appreciate all the help.

Well I got the new mirrors and headlights and it's looking pretty nice.

Before:

After:
https://gyazo.com/a76bdac8260d51f19c36752cda0c7e72

I am still waiting on my new fenders but when I removed the fender to look at the damaged it was worst then I thought. It is still workable but I am not sure if I can replace anything without welding.

Damage under the fender:

Does anyone know how bad this is? Am I able to replace any of this frame? There are bolts connecting but I noticed it is also welded together.

Oh, that does look like it needs work........

I'd suggest you take it to a frame straightening shop for an opinion and estimate.

OR

You could bring it back to the mainland and Bubba will straighten it out for you .....

@Joc213 you might need item #4 on this diagram http://scionparts.villagetoyota.com/...category=19377 or #15 or maybe #16 on this diagram. http://scionparts.villagetoyota.com/...category=19377. If neither of those parts look familiar, then you might actually need to fix the part professionally.

Edit: I also suggest to go to a toyota dealership and make sure those are the right parts you need. You might need some welding to fix that and maybe some bending too.

Ya I already purchased #4 last week. Was hoping that would be it. I don't see the #15 or #16 you are talking about.

Ya I don't think I will be bringing it to the mainland. It will be hard to get it fixed here out in the middle of no where lol.

Sorry it looks like it copied and paste the same link as earlier. But this should be the diagram.

I'm afraid just those parts are not going to cut it, you'll probably need some more of the right front structure as can be found here

I don't think so. This looks like a pretty low energy crunch above the bumper.

Just my vote based on the pictures.

Well the right upper corner of the triangle (above wheel wel) is bend pretty bad out of shape and not mentioned in the parts required above. Or maybe it is and I've missed it, sometimes these EPC images can be a puzzle to figur out..

youll need to pull it and replace it. no easy way on this. id recommend sending it to a bodyshop to have it pulled, replaced and lined up.
