Bent chassis rail

[Sopea]

Hey guys on my 34 i got a bent chassis rail left and right side, had the car like that, looks like incorrect jacking. 

Wonder if any 1 knows any 1 in melbourne that are able to fix it? And possibly how much?

Been covered many times, try plugging "Chassis rails" into SAU search engine. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 95% are bent.

God damn they really went to town.

I would check the integrity of tjose lines too as it looks like it may have even slipped on the jacks and bent those up too.

Just remove them. Straighten them, plate them 3mm to reinforce them, complete length and spot weld fit them back on. Simples! 

When you have them off! Make a template, transfare onto fresh steel, and shape them for years to come! 

I blame tyre fitters and drifters! Never seen chassis rails made from light tin foil, reckon I could bend them with my mind. 

Going to make a plated section that is bolted. To assist in future lifting.

Sorry! A million miles away.

Just cured 95% of skyline issues myself. Removed both chassis runners by removing spot welds. Cut 3mm plates for strength. Then cleared. Rust treated chassis leg ready to plug weld plate on inside of leg before plug welding back into R33 Shell.
