OUCH!!

[Speedy1973]

So when i got my car towed (had a broken line and didn't wanna risk messing anything else up) this happend
(noticed it when fixing the line's)






LIKE !!

I can't believe it's on Both sides of the subframe.....

What created these?? I went to the guy who towed it, and there was nothing on the bed that could have done this.... Anybody ever see something like this before?? What would your best route be of fixing this???

cut away metal and weld in new metal.

Looks normal to me....
What year is your car, I see your in Bencroft....Welcome to Canada...lol My floors in my 97GT are good, but the rockers were rotten. My 98 was right rotten, twice as bad as yours. Looks like you need to find some floor sections that are good from the wreckers and cut them out of the doner car, weld them into your car, or find an aftermarket body panel supplier that can get replacement floor sections.

It's not the rockers (they're fine) thats the subframe

and it's a 2001

Ive seen that happen when a tow truck driver will hook to a weak point and the hook will rip right through the metal

[Speedy1973]

Well it's funny you say that^

I took a picture of the car on the tilt-n-load... and he had connected to the tow-hooks my car has (didn't know it had any)

[MidnightBlue]

Our cars have tow hooks!?!?!?! LOL They way it looks is he hooked in in one of the unibody holes and it ripped!

[Speedy1973]

well mine sure does (if you look in the picture i posted earlier on the tilt-n-load) you can see where his drag line goes... The hook (i'll get a picture later for reference) is where the valance "wind splitter" "bottom grille" (or w-e people call them) meets the edge of the fog light, it's tucked up in there kind of (picture's worth a thousand words)

[Scottydoggs]

that will buff right out, im sure of it.......what am i looking at here anyways, the floor pan rusted out?

[Speedy1973]

no, it's the very start of the frame rails (that go along the sides of the car from front to back) They have been torn through... on both sides about 8'' tears

[Scottydoggs]

that dont sound good at all, or look good.

this is one of them times im glad i own a Regal.

[Speedy1973]

Time to get fancy with the welder

[Below Average Joe]

I would buy a new car

Your babe need some TLC! Get a friend with a body shop, raise her up, and get to weldin'!

Also, mines a 97' and she don't look that bad underneath... She been sitting around at some point? Or is that from heavy snow/salt?

A little bit of both
when i bought it, the lady had bought a newer Dodge neon halfway through winter, and just parked it in the snow

And the road crew's up here are crazy... instead of using sand, or sand/salt mix.... they just salt the sh*t outta these roads

I know, it's getting some MAJOR tlc I'll be sinking a few $$ into her, make her sexy once again
