Hey guys just got a new project xj. I've already started working on it. The inside is all stripped off. Going to chop the top on it. It doesn't have an engine, tranny or t-case. I was planning on going with the stock 4.0 and an auto with the 231 t-case. There's only one problem with it. It was in a wreck and the frame in the rear is bent a little. You can see it in the pic. Should i try and sleave it, or should i cut it off and tube it from there back?
If you guys have any suggestions or experiences that may help that would be great could use all the help i can get.

Doesn't look too bad. I had a much worse wreck where the pass. side A & B pillar were crushed in to the point where the pass. seat tilted. It still drove straight as an arrow at 75MPH though. The body shop stretched the floor and spliced in the pillars, good as new. Myabe have a body shop check it. They have nice machines that can "tweak" it back in spec if needed. Otherwise, how does it drive? It looks pretty straight, but I'd get a prof. opinion anyway. My .02
