1969 Dart Pro touring daily driver **Crashed**
A little more progress on the repair. When I was in Sweden over Christmas I went to visit the guy who was straightening the car, luckily this was only 1.5 hours away.
Both frame rails needed some repair from the wheels moving back but most damage was on the passenger side, as you can see the footwell had to be cut it out before being rebuilt. The inner fender was also damaged and needed to be re attached to the fire wall but its not that visible in the photos.
The car was actually not that crooked, only a couple of millimeters out of tolerance. After all, it did go over curbs in the crash as opposed to into a wall.
He also remarked on just how much work had been done on the car over the years, patches and bits have been changed on all over. The car is almost totally rust free today but I suspect it might not always have been like this. The car was sold new in Sweden so it may well have spent many early winters of its life on salted roads.
