Ah, that sucks, doesn't look like it was quite that hard of a hit, but old cars tend to be pretty flimsy. I think I'd still get a quote though, since your chassis is pretty rough. Long term, it might still be easier/cheaper. Lots of little dents and rust spots to be dealt with, and the time and effort to fix each one will add up fast.

Those seats will look great in that car, esp if you leave it with the great patina it has

Are you running Bilstein Sport or HD rabbit inserts? What are the spring rates?

I ran 275lb/whatever IE Stage 2 rears are and it was noticibly stiff, but really manageable.
I even have a set of 300lb 7" front eibach springs that I'll send your way if you want to try them.
It's not an issue of if you can handle that stiff, it's a question of how long you want to endure that level of stiffness.
But I like the direction. A lot.world renown Harry Potter expert
