I'd should've just waited until it was done.
This is one of the biggest problems at the moment. The right rear frame rail won't straighten out anymore. Notice the kink still left. Try as they may, they just can't get it all the way out. So they are going to cut it out the frame rail, from just infront of the kink, all the way to the rear, and replace it.
Some welding experimentation, gone awry!
Luckily it's getting removed now.
CRUNCH
Doesn't it look sad?
They promise all this stuff will be put back in, and the car will be detailed to "showroom" condition. BUT FAWK!
They are going to cut out a large portion of the trunk floor, (including the spare tire cavity) and replace it.
More pictures here!

Wow... thats crazy to see the car all stripped down like that. Plus that welding on the frame.... man you might have been better off not seeing that. 
Im sure they will be able to fix it like new eventually.... one thing does concern me however, you think they will really be able to get that yamaha snowmobile? to fit back in with all the rest of the parts laying in that pile?
