alright guys im new here and have a bit of a problem, my lady is driving a 91 honda accord wagon on air cylinders. i noticed the hood was lifted on the passenger side didn't think much about it. but yesterday she told that right tire wasn't lifting at all and it was shreading the tire. so i havn't seen how bad it is. but all i know is that the frame around the strut mount broke and now she has her car parked. i was wondering if this would be an easy fix, what kind of things might i need to do. or even if the car is salvageable.

Exactly, don't mess with frame issues yourself.... Go to a body shop and have them look at it... I would like to see pictures though.

back when i had my first accord (1983), this happened to me when i hit a pothole. The car had rust. When i hit a pothole, the stut tower gave busted through (pushing up on the hood luckly the hood on the 83 opened backwords.
Anyway, at the time, i found a replacement strut tower (not sure if it was used at a junk yard or a readily available replacement strut tower. I had a body shop weld it in. I later sealed everything with undercoating. It held up until the car finally died.
