<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">All, after being suggested to get a donor car and splice in the FE I instantly started looking for said donor. But after thinking about it for a bit I decided I should quantify
the issue and made my own measurements. Car went up on jackstands, FE off with body set to level. I used a plumb bob and marked the garage floor, then remounted the cross member and moved the car out of the way and measured and triangulated and calculated
the front x-member positions left/right/forward/aft relative to the rear end front leaf spring mounts. The key assumption here is the rear end front leaf spring mounts as the reference points are true and square. I think this is a good assumption. two photos
here of the plumb bob and final floor marking: <a href="https://goo.gl/photos/aKccfJmt2aQ166bM9" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk461542" previewremoved="true">https://goo.gl/photos/aKccfJmt2aQ166bM9</a></span></p>

<p><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Based on the measurements I made to get to a perfect state I would make the below adjustments</span></font><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">.
At this point they might all be in tolerance, but t</span></font><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">hey could be a little better. A good frame shop should be able to make these </span>adjustments<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> I
think. I don't think this level of offset demands a full front clip replacement.</span></font><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Intel Clear, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>

<div><font face="Intel Clear, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The car was wrecked and looks like the repair was pretty good. It visually looks worse than it is by my measurements. I also did this full process twice. After the first time I thought
I could be more precise with both plum bob placement and measurements. Both were very close to each other but these measurements I think are </span>accurate<span style="font-size: 12pt;">.</span></font></div>
