New Project, maybe...

My new project is a 96 Grand Cherokee that was my sisters for over 10 years. Garage kept and very well maintained. She was rear ended a few weeks ago and pushed into the car in front of her. Of course because of the age and mileage, the insurance company totaled it. So I ask her to find out what the buy back is. $560.00! cool, I bought it. It finally got towed to the house this week and I got a good look under neath last night. Bad news, the left frame rail is kinked where the lower control arm mounts. So the left rear wheel sits forward about 3/4 of an inch.
So now my question; get the frame pulled, rebuild and drive it? or put on a long arm kit, 38's and wheel it!
