Yeah its a flat floor drawing. Having said that, its the same with the exception of the gearbox mount location/measurement.

Wagon rear suspension very different due to the lay over shocks.

Yes, the drawings are based on a sedan, so all the boot pan measurements will be different as well. Having said that though, the rest of the measurements ie crossmember to rear trailing arms, everything forward of rear seat pan, and crossmember to panhard rod should still be applicable.

Reason theyll be reluctant to do that is even knowing how long/short you are in any given direction, theres no guaranty on how long it will take to pull back into place. Has to do with how badly out it is, how forceful the impact was etc. Say for example two cars, both are 10mm short - one was in an accident at 10kmh that resulted in that damage, the other at 40kmh. The higher speed shunt was obviously a lot more forceful, so even though they may have bent the same amount, it would take a lot more force to pull that 10mm back on the second example. Oversimplified, but you get the gist.

Ive had it done twice [once hidden damage early in the cars life, once my own fault because i am a dickhead] and it didnt cost me huge amounts, but this keeps in mind that i knew the guys doing it - the more recent one was done as a huge favour.

If your in the geelong area i might be able to help you out/can ask someone i know down that way. It wont be a Car-o-liner, but it wont need to be either. The old bolted-to-floor rack is just as good if the person operating it knows how to use it.
