Maybe before I take the sledge to it I’ll take it to the shop for a quote. The car does drive straight but I am worried about the alignment being off anyway. I just want to do what is safest for my friend but also cheapest.
Thanks for your reply, sorry for such a delayed response. I ended up taking it to a couple shops. They said the damage shouldn’t be dangerous if there isn’t a crack. I went ahead and found another Corolla from the same year in a junk yard a hand full of hours away and pulled the fender bumper and lights. I’ve replaced everything but the bumper because it doesn’t seat well. The frame where the bumper mounts on the collision side of the vehicle is about a half inch higher in the front than the other side. My next move is to take a sledge hammer to a rod of steel positioned at the high point of the frame. Then I’ll drill and tap new holes in the frame. I’ve heard of attaching a chain to a tree and backing up but there is no appropriate place to attach a chain. I’ll report back after I attempt the adjustment. Thanks again!
