I've had a car repaired that had frame damage. It was a 1980s car though. Probably a lot harder to do with modern cars.

- jacquesm 6y agoI've done that sort of work on a late model Daihatsu. You will need access to a frame pulling setup if the damage is extensive enough, you'll need the exact measurements from the manufacturer, a lot of time and very good measuring and metalworking skills but it can definitely be done. Fabricating new structural members from plain automotive sheet steel is a study in patience. The car I did this to was totaled in Belgium, bought for the scrap value and repaired on a very small budget. It is still driving the streets of Bucharest today. The MOT inspectors could not find proof that the car had been worked on, which I took as a badge of honor until they went off on a tangent that therefore it must be a stolen re-id'd car. Then I showed them the step-by-step pictures and it was all good. Fun job!
