Heat will make it move,get it glowing read and then mash the fucker down,i'd do it if you didn't live 10 years away in the hills.

First beat the fuck out of the idiot who used it as a jacking point.

Second, Id go ask your local panelbeater to have a look and advise.

hahahah dont warry i wanna do that hahahahah i might go see a mate tomorro hes a panno

mate those tie bar's are week as piss you should be able to lean on it to bend it.

get some chain and chain it to the floor off the tie bar and then get two jacks on each rail end lightly jack the car at a evan rate.

that is the easy way to bend it back in place.

...thats the ticket.
if the weight of the car was enough to bend the frame it should be enought to pull it back.
forget about trying to straighten light materials like that with the oxy imo.

[Ryan]
