I recently acquired a 1993 240 wagon that took a hit on the bumper from the passenger's side. As shown in the first photo it moved the front of the car over about 1 3/4". The hood is not damaged as the hinge on that side proved the weak point. With a replacement hinge in place I have a good idea of how far the front has to be moved back.



My first step is to determine if the frame horns have moved together or if the passenger's side is moved more and how much. A rough measurement to the inside of the horns on both this car and an undamged 240 show them to have move together but a rough measurement isn't good enough.

Do any of you happen to have a 240 that has the front bumper removed enabling a good measurement of the distance between the outsides of the bumper horns?



Once I know that that measurement is I can "adjust" mine if necessary and use a heavy piece of angle iron drilled and bolted to the horns before I attempt to move things back to their proper position.

I'd like to save this car from being just a good parts car.

Thanks,
Randy
