The previous owner has appeared to have a confrontation with a rock or sumfin...,

musta been a decent speed too...

after cleaning my front beam, i knew there was a little chunk pushed up at the bottom of the shock tower (just the lips of the shock tower that are spot welded together were pushed upwards, but still together...)

However, after cleaning it, i observed a slight bend in the front beam at one side (slight little kink too)...
should i be worried? is this repairable by the right people?

Was laughin when i bought the car for $250, thinkin i got a good deal, sure the rear quarter was involved in a side on acident and one stage, but a front on too!? DAM!

it can be fixed, the dint isn't an issue and a bent beam can be straightened in the Jig at Custom Vee Dub

My beam was bent worse than that. Straightened up in the press no worries

nah, i went to Brads, apparently no bj fronts, and i rang custom offroad on tuesday, and the fabricator took a look at the pics whilst over the phone to confirm that this one can not be saved or spared.

Its trash. :(
