Replacing some frame parts on my TRM freestyler ? (now with PICS)

Hi All

Just wanted to know -

while looking at my bike (which is in badly need of refurb) the left rear fork has a little dent/kink in it- Its been like it for years and years (before I got the bikein about 92') and never affected anything while riding etc, but I wanted to know about getting it repaird.

Is it possible?

Also can the "bottom bracket" (bit that the crank goes through) be replaced. I have a sneaky suspicion that that its worn oval as the crank used to go loose when I rode it - I used to have to stop and tighten it up by hand.

PS- in my defence in 92' I was 12 and I used the bike everyday untill I passed my driving test in 98'- its also survived numerous theft attempts and no resides in my loft requiring some love.

Not sure on how to repair the forks......ans if it's a rider i'm not sure it would be worth it as the cost would be quite high i guess?

as for the Bottom Bracket.......these are seriously strong bits of steal! so my guess is that it was just your Crank Bottom Bracket that was just coming loose all the time.  was it an old One piece crank?  if so most of them all work loose  :(

Shings:
Yeh 1 piece crank.. I'll post some pics a bit later so I can explain.

I did have all the bearings and stuff replaced by a friend mid 90's... he reckoned that when he tightend the crank nuts up it had cracked the bearing casings??????

Sorry for the poor lingo - I dont know what stuff is.. lol- I am a car nut.

Hmmmmm sounds extreme.....out of interest what bike is it?  other people may know better but i've never heard of the crank case on a frame slitting through over tightening??
