If you can manage it, it might make sense to get a body shop to do some 
measurements on key suspension mounting points.  If the car was hit 
hard, things may have twisted/bent a little - and if the top strut 
mounts, say, aren't where they are supposed to be, the alignment 
adjustments won't be in their old range, either.

I can't remember which is which re: neg or pos camber, but I have had 
many alignments on cranky old type 85's and 89's over the years where 
the tech said they could barely get enough camber on one wheel or another.

Also, doesn't toe effect camber?  So if you are setting up radical toe, 
the camber range might move outside of where you want it?  Or was the 
car set up this way before?
