If you are already repaired then you have one of two things going on.
1) When it was repaired it was not in th eright place and now it is "fixed" out of line and it may not shim out.
2) It was repaired right and just needs to be shimmed. If your passenger side needs to come back then you will want to add shims to the body mount under the pass door hinge area and remove any from the next body mount back from their. This will cause the body to flex down in the middle and "bow" the fire wall back. The rods I made will not help because their are designed to move and hold things in place before repairs are done.
Hope this helps.
