I am looking at a YJ that was wrecked and the front left leaf spring was damaged. I haven't seen it yet but the owner said the leaf spring shackle is bent and he thinks the frame might be. If one of the front frame rails is tweaked a little is that going to be a big problem or could it be repaired without to much hassle. I am not wanting it to be perfect just good for a weekend driver and occasional wheeler.
 
Well I went and looked at it tonight and the frame doesn't appear to be bent, but the tub is pretty crunched. The corner of the tub between the fender and door is crushed back and the floor buckled back as well. I am trying to figure out how hard it would be to straighten it back out. If I buy it I will see how a dead blow hammer does first but I afraid that I will have a hard time straightening it back out because the floor firewall and side panel all pushed back together. Any ideas? I am not going to try and get it perfect by any means but at least half way straight
