    James;

    Your comment on German steel is right on the mark. When my '86 5ktq was
t-boned, I checked around with local body shops about straightening the
chassis. They all had the same story - the German steel is so tough that
they cannot pull the cars completely straight and they never quite handle
the same. This applies to Audi, BMW, & MB according to the info I received.
