Default help with my FC
so i bought an 87' a few weeks ago, ive put some work into it like replace the ball joints that were bent, getting a new rim since the old one was horribly bent, replacing the rear shocks, and all the fluids. but theres still a few things i need help with.

the frame is bent sadly by the front left quarter, to be exact, right where the fuel filter mounts to the frame (since the bracket has been broken off) its basicly just pushed in and down slightly on that side. im wondering how much a frame shop might charge? ballpark? it pulls to the left still but i believe when i get the new tie rod it will pick some of that up.

also my oil pressure loves to sit around 100psi only when its under heavy load tho. once i shift it'll drop between 100-60. when its idling it'll be right between 30-60 exactly. im new to rotarys so if this is a dumb question my bad.

the car seems very drivable, it hasnt giving me any problems to where i need to pull over. im just lookin for a little help to get her back to perfect.

Bent frame you say, well how is the body? Giving you a price on something that the damage can not be seen clearly is a little hard to do. Is this a Turbo II or NA? Have a mechanic take a look at you car if you are not familiar with what you are looking at.
