MKIII body work help

Due to my lack of knowledge about the supra, this may be all completely wrong. Correct me if you know I'm wrong so I can learn.

This gets me wondering. If by booboo you mean you totalled the front end of the vehicle, then I can understand why they would need this data. But, if that is the case, a shop capable of make structural repairs should already have this data at the shop or be able to access it without having to make the owner find out for them.

I believe that the front impact bar is bolted to the front of the frame, so I don't see why they would need specs just for that.

If the case really is that you totalled it, I suggest finding a shop with a Car-o-liner or Chief Frame Machine (google to see pictures of em) to get the work done, it will be accurate and they'll be able to straighten the entire frame. If you don't have any of these shops around or due to a lack of money, disregard that.
