I am posting this more/less for Smike's pleasure. And as a tease to the others.
Dare the 4/1 install day still go as planned, I'll be bringing her there.
Without adu:
(Ack, huge image: 940kb (http://www.mini-sites.org/personal/schultzy/Images/tease.jpg))
I've got about 200 pictures that I could post of what the car was like before I began fixing it, but I've got two here that show it better than anything else.
Also, for those that need some information on reading frame sheets:
The L/R measurements are given in each box. The numbers are relative to OE "Perfect". The numbers are also in mm. Anything within 3mm is considered OE, but anything within 6mm can be worked with. A co-worker and I pulled the car to the point where I felt if I kept going, I'd begin tearing chunks out of the frame - hence why I stopped where I did. Just from pulling the car though, it drove much straighter.
Also, top measurements are the height. Middle is the "From Center", and the ones on the bottom are length. The 4 measurements in the middle are from the "Torque Boxes" or the center-portion of the vehicle ("Mount Points").
I should note that the person who sold me the car said it was repaired within "OEM Specs" and that it "Drove Perfectly". There is probably going to be a legal case on this particular vehicle.
Here's the images:
