Default 2001 bugeye. Damaged

Just brought this of my mate it has morrettes so looks ok haha. He clipped a lamppost and itbbent the front right suspension and damaged the wing. The engine legs are not damaged.bought all new parts. Drop links. Anti roll bar. Strut. Etc put it all back together and the wheels at an angle.

Trying to upload photos but struggling on my phone. I'm thinking there's a chance it could just be steering rack or maybe the sub frame bent. Is there any reference points to measure from?

What direction is the wheel pointing? Is it tilted up or down, or steering left/right?
Quick inspection from underneath should give you a better idea of what's bent.

Unfortunate first post, however has come on here looking for advice.

Once we get to see the photos we should be able to give you a little more advice.

Good luck.

You will need to get some photos up if you want help, put them on Photobucket and paste the links in here

Yeah sorry about the first post. I was in a bit of a rush and this Samsung s3 has been hit with the no copy and paste bug.

Looks like it's the front subframe that's out quite abit where the wishbone joins it.
