I think the drivers side TB is in bad shape...are these repairable or can they be re-inforced even after having some damage. i was eyeing the LRS torque box weld ons.

Yes they are repairable. Depending on the damage you may need someone who knows how to straighten them back up before welding them back in place if it's pulled apart from the car already.

Post some pictures and we can see how badly they are damaged.

Check out Wild Rides Torque box reinforcements, many copies out there, all probably work the same.

thats no damage to what u think, some inexperienced person, doesnt know where to either jack or place a jack stand. if ur concerned , u can bring it by and ill inspect it for u, thats is the wrong spot where they get damaged at.
