Where to do chassis repair and strengthening in PJ/KL/Subang?

[sanekit]

Hi guys. As the title goes, I need to find a workshop that does chassis repairs as my front side frame is getting worse. Behold the accident the car had in 2009 (i think)...

And here's the car now...

As you may see in the accident photo, the car was rammed from behind and pushed on to the concrete divider. The right side suffers the most than the left. The insurance panel didn't do a good job fixing it so the right side frame goes inwards compare to the left which is straight. I took photo of the patch job they had done for the right side frame. The car also pulls to the left slightly if i wot from standstill (no, I don't think it's torque steer).

Since I'm using a 4WD autobox from a GSR, the side frame is touching the gearbox because of the size. I need to straighten the right side to match the left, fix the cabin floor and also straighten the rear a bit. Then I plan to strengthen the chassis. Any recommendation? PJ, Subang area would be great. Thanks!

I'd like to ask a stupid question. Why didn't fight with adjuster to total loss the car?

Hmm maybe better just sell it off? Sorry for not answering the question though.

sell separately, and get a new project car?

this car was passed down to me from my brother. at time of accident, he was the owner and he was driving. so all the claims was done by him. I did asked him before but he said the adjuster said still can fix. i'm using the car now but it's still under his name.

i can't remember where i took that photo. hahaha. can PM me the number? i'll try and ask first.

my mech also suggest to get body kosong and transfer. the total cost gonna be around 4-5k including a good chassis and workmanship fee for the swap.

5K is a bit steep. Does that include a fresh paint job?

Do you do that after registering the new engine? If do before, then have to get past Puspakom hurdle

if get chassis kosong, might go the 'haram' way. haha. coz i don't want to change the number as well. that's another reason why i'm still trying to find a workshop to fix the chassis.

coz if properly do chassis swap, meaning i need to change name from old owner to myself, then register the engine number and all. then go another round to do the strengthening. haram way is just swap everything, repaint and use back plate number and all. hahaha
