    Any decent panel beater will have access to a frame jig.

    How bad is it?

    The problem would be it'd be hard to get someone to do that part who isn't doing the entire job as it may not be worthwhile and may be difficult to accurately if they aren't doing the rebuild.

    Its really not bad.The problem is that I have stripped the front end and it's ready to go onto a jig but most crash repair centres want to do the whole job from start to finsih and I understand that.

    Correct,Thats what most crash repair garages are saying.I have all the new parts ready to go onto the car just the frame rails stopping me from finishing.

    Yeah problem is thay will need to fit panels after the pulling to see will it all line up and adjust were necessary. If just straight rails (like it will never be like 100%) gave it back to you. you will probably be on phone to them saying this won't line up They don't want this hassle .... just leave place do it all straightening and fitting and painting
    I be same way trying to do things myself I find something it waster of time because thay will do worser job or charged as much if they did it all
