Where could I find unibody measurements? - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

I need to find some measurements for the body of my car to see if there is infact any damage to the unibody or anything else. If anyone knows where I can find this info for a 92 Prelude, that would be great!

^^ you cannot accurately measure this with a tape measure there are specific points that you measure off of and need the proper tools to do so.

Shop manual usually carries it, and details a reletively accurate way to mesure it, and what kind of tolerances to expect.

I'm just looking for something that fairly accurate... If I find it's way off then I won't worry about it, if it's pretty close, I will be getting it towed in for measurements and then get the alignment done, then it will be off for body work. I'm not going to waste my money on a tow and for the shop to look at it though if I can see myself that it's way off. I'm not going to trust my judgement on whether it's ok or not to acctually drive! LOL
