Centerline is said to be one of the best frame alignment shops around, LightningGSX can vouch for them. He has most all the details on it as well. I am sure he will chime in on this soon.

Have they figured out if his car can be fixed yet? I thought they kept changing their mind on it...

I would have asked for more pics. I would never take on a project like that without seeing the frame rails, how far it was pushed back, etc. Hope you have time. Good luck.

I should see if I can find it. I am only 15-20 min away from there. He's already boguht it so kinda pointless now though.

Well, technically, I haven't bought it. The seller is being a pain in the ass... he's relisted the car, and is not replying to any contact via e-mail OR phone. Makes me think it wasn't meant to be...
In the meantime, my parents offered me the Honda for $1000. Runs and drives well, and gets good gas mileage. Hard to turn it down. It's going to be quite an interesting week.

The seller probably did not get what he wanted so he is trying to relist it again. Doesnt ebay have a policy against that, Im positive they do.

Absolutely, you cannot re-list an item if the item was already sold. Well, unless it was an auction with an active reserve. But, this also gives you an opportunity to back out if you wanted to. Otherwise, attack damn you, attack!

Hey if you were still interested in the car, I am very familiar with princeton and I could go out and look at it if you wanted me too (i go up there about 1 or twice a week)
just tell me what I should look for

Well, I called Centerline today. It was difficult for them to give me a quote, but it sounds like the work will be somewhere in the $4000 range. Though $6000 is a heckuva price for a 03 MSP, it's more than I'm really capable of spending at this point. So, in the end, things worked for the best, and I learned a good lesson. Research BEFORE you bid! :P

But if someone wants to take my place on the project, I'm sure we could work something out. ;)

Just gotta find a place to take it to now, so I can arrange shipping!

if you need any help, at my body shop class i have access to a 20+ bay garage, paint booths, and frame pullers. i havent done any frame or straightening work yet, but everything from welding to painting. if you get everything done, painting would be cheap since labor is free.
