Best part of metal is it can be fixed, not the same for family and friends good to hear no body was hurt. Good luck with the insurance and what a place to be with all those that can be of assistance with parts to get her back on the road. Shouldnt be to long and you will be cruising again 8) 8)

I'm just glad your ok John :wink:
It didn't look to bad until I read further :(
I hope all your custom work in the engine bay is easily repairable.

"A little devistated" you said, I would hate to think how I would feel :evil:

All the best for getting her fixed up.

Its great to see the forum getting behind you with the offer of so many parts.

Well done everyone, thats very cool 8) 8) 8)

Thanks Guys for feelin my pain, Bottles of red are very good at the moment to sedate my frustration and anger.
I feeling like I'm in hole at present as to what to do. Don't know if any of you have had the same feeling or not.

Scotty, (Sputz) has come to the generous rescue at suppling me with a grill and blinker surrounds and bonnet bar. So armed with these work must go on.
Or maybe I should just rebuild her. :?: :?: :?: :?:
:idea: Customiser :idea:
Thanks To all John

Good luck with the rebuild. I think any accident you don't get seriously hurt in, is survivable, - cars can be replaced or mended

Thanks Rusty,
When you build a car to the way you want, rather than build to sell, It does become family..

Hey John,
Mate I know you and I can honestly say that this is just a small set back. These gloomy days seem to allways happen for a good reason, and I know you were talking about a rebuild.
Mate the insurance should cover the pulling of the subframe, and then from there you can go for it !!
On A lighter note , I could give you $500.00 for the chassis # and engineers report HA HA ! :shock: :shock: Only joking.

Chin up mate !!

Regards Greg
So many cars so little time!
