Body Question

Post by Vegas Cabby »

The Cabby was hit before it was purchased on the left front corner. The bumper corner is pushed upward and the gap between the hood and fender gets smaller as your looking at it from the drivers seat. The metal in the engine bay is not damaged so I was wondering if anyone knows if all these parts have room for adjustment ? or will it have to be put on a body rack ? Thanks for any and all help on this.

Pictures work better, so does the model year Pre clipper, or clipper.

The Cabby is a unibody, that is that the frame can be tweaked, and you not know it.
Ron, and I think Kammy has the diagrams on the frame specs.

look for Group 5.

But snapping a pic or 14 and adding it to the post is going to help us help you with the right answer.

I put all of the structural images and dimensions in one complete document: http://www.cabby-info.com/images/Specs/ ... nsions.pdf .

And, yes, photos would help a lot. The hood can be adjusted, to a degree, at the hinges and up front at the latch.

Quick update ... I've been pretty busy and unable to post pics, but I was getting some work done on some down time and I spotted a small kink on the bumper support under the battery. So I guess I will be making some pulls on the body after all :banghead: !
