    Need help!

    Ok I have a question for you guys. You have always been able to help me in the past so just gonna throw this one out there and see what you guys have to say. I bought my CB7 around 4 years ago. I bought it from a private dealer, that buys wrecked cars with salvage titles and rebuilds them. My CB7 does have a salvage title. I didnt pay much attention to it at the time but the more I look at her and work with her, the more I notice different defects. Defects such as it appears that the frame is NOT straight. The trunk lid does not line up with the rest of the body. The rear passenger side door doesnt close all the way and leaks when rain down pours or when I visit the car wash. I have thought about getting the frame straightened. I have been considering selling her and getting a different CB7. I love my CB7 and have put all kinds of money into her. I want to do the H22 Swap but am afraid to even start saving for that. Is it worth dropping a $2K motor into a car that if I went to sell it now wouldnt be worth $3K? Just looking for suggestions. I have kept all the stock pieces that I removed and replaced with aftermarket accessories. So it would not be hard for me to bring her back to her stock glory. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance. Later!

    Edit: Ok thought of somemore things that arent lined up because of the above listed problem... Taillights have pulled apart and previously filled with water, I have since dried them and sealed them. Both the front and rear bumpers apear to be missing bolts or supports, they seem to sag a bit from the rest of the body of the car. Havent had any posts since I posted this yesterday! COME ON HELP ME OUT!! Thanks again!

      its really up to you, no one here can tell you what to do at this point. seems like your poor cb7 has had as much as she can take, if youre serious about the h22 swap then my honest $0.02 is sell her and get you another one and start fresh. Get you a body style you always wanted (sedan or coupe) yr. you want, hell, even wait around for the color you want.

        Yeah I was just curious as to if there was anyone here with a similar dilema. Or maybe someone that has had major frame work done and see if they would reccomend it or suggest starting fresh. This is my fist car so she is something special to me and I was not the one that totaled her. I just got her cheap and at the time I needed a car and she was all I could afford. So maybe its time to move on. We had some awesome memories! If I could choose a year and trim and color for something I would be interested in... I would have to say a 91 SE or EX, coupe, RED or BLACK, AUTOMATIC. With no more the 150k on it. Got a lot of saving up to do before that dream will come true!
