I have never welded anything, but it is something I want to learn how to do!
Yes... nothing will line up and there will be a lot of fabrication work. Way more than if you were to even weld your existing frame yourself.

A competent welding shop should be able to repair the frame for under 500 bucks. That's just a number I pulled out of my rear... so it will probably be lower.

Post up a pic if you can.
