   right i crashed my saxo the other day and it looks like the n/s/f has been pushed up, and all the inner wing has been crumpled the stut top is straight when its ment to be at a angle. i think its a right of but a few people say that i might be able to get it sorted on a jig? if so how much would it cost to sort it out? and is there anyone on here that could do it? much appreciated if someone can give me info on it.
   cheers
   i love my saxo

   sounds like a lot of work, for the value of the car id say split for parts and buy another, if you can afford it

   £600-£1000 to be jigged, not worth it. you got your parts to go ontop.

   jig works not that expensive if you get the right man on it, my skyline was bent like a banana on the front end and much much sturdier them a saxo and the guy who used to do my jigging pulled it with ease. Half the time saxo will pull with a dozer or body jack.

    put photos up, if its messed up too badly then i'm afraid its time to cut your losses but anything is repairable,its just how deep your pockets are and how much time you're prepared to put into it all.
