[Healeys] body work question

[Jody Kerr]

Jorge,

Body work is always expensive, especially if you want it done right.
You may be looking at a serious investment in repair costs. I built a
nifty little calculator that may help you gauge how much it will cost.

something hitting it from underneath. This supposedly was caused by accident
damage to the frame (???). Other signs that there was damage of the front
"clip" is that the windshield does not sit flush on the cowl and there are
unusual gaps where the front fenders meet the windshield posts and doors.

the pictures directly.
