Your paint will crack to hell when you try and bend it back. 99 TRed Contour SVT # 1853 out of 2760 230.2 WHP @ 6500 237.0 WTR @ 2250 Originally posted by MxRacer: Originally posted by RawBurt: I'll be keeping it to myself, until the time comes.

Someone posted some body work tools some time ago. But you can go "ghetto" sytle by putting a block of wood under and using a hammer on a block of wood on top.

It would be difficult to get things lined back up right. So to try this yourself wouldn't yield very good results... www.car-part.com 1999 Sportage 4x4...don't go there, it was free ....______o_o .../_l l__\____\ ..\|--l l__----[]\\|/[] .....................oo =( )_)----( )_)--)_)
