Hello from a new guy,
Purchased an 02 with a rebuilt title. It was a roll over from all appearances.

It does runs great and tracks straight down the road.
However,
Doors don’t close properly, roll bars are tweaked toward the drivers side. Windshield was replaced.

My questions ( at this time) are.
Will replacing the window frame and roll bar with straight ones help to straighten out the tub? Or is the tub tweaked too much?
I have found a local here selling those parts so I’m tempted to get them.
pics to look over.
Shoot me questions or ideas, let the discussion begin
And thank you for having me here and any advice!

Pretty safe to say the frame is likely bent thus the body tweeks. Take it to a body/frame shop and have them throw it on a rack and see just what you have.

Thanks. I did call a shop today. Unfortunately they are booked until October!
 
That is a heck of a buckle

There is a ton more damage you haven't found yet.

I'm not sure how you are set financially but if you bring that to a shop it's going to cost a metric shit ton and it won't be right.

I'm going to send you a message and see if I can help

Considering what the pics show its odd they would let that be street registered again. maybe its different in different states but what Ive seen a total has to be inspected for safety before released. Being the doors dont close right, the roll bar is bent bla,bla Id think it would be looked upon as structurally compromised and a no go for the street. Did you, or do you have a clean title for it now??
