Hey Guys, I'm a little devastated at the moment.







Photos make it look superficial, which looks good, BUT!
After 1 hr of pulling the bar and guard from the front wheel with the winch and slide hammer, I was then able to drive her back to the shop, for further assessment. Which is not good.
Rails moved 5mm towards drivers side and drivers guard to door gap is 1 mm at the top. Passenger side Windscreen mould is kicked out 2 mm above the corner piece. Top of Passengers Front door frame out at the top. After that I couldn't look at it anymore.

I'll have to see what happens with the Insurance Co, to find out what will become of Erin.

BUGGER. Were you at fault or can you blame someone else ?

I feel your pain, not good at all. But should all be repairable. The unfortunate downside to regular use.... Sounds like your all ok which is a plus! Steel can be fixed.

hi john,
i am desperately hoping ou dont need to replace the subframe
i have all the other parts you require: front bar, grill, bonnet, bonnet bar, guard, valance etc
they are yours if you need them.
cheers
Patrick

Thanks Patrick.
I'll PM you to get some details.
Thanks John

Bad times John, ouch

Sorry to here that John....That really sucks mate. Cheers Mark

Shit man.
I could cry.

OWCH

Is Erin your wife or the car ? If its the car then Im sure during driving Erin you had thought up a few changes you would like to do , Now is the time .

I know she has a coil tower setup but its still possible to bolt on an original subframe I hope and go from there.

Dont tell me roundabout top of the hill heading south at ulladulla?

John ...I've got some pieces coming you way tomorrow ie grill, mustache mold & indicators..sorry mate no guards or bonnet...but it's a start..

Scotty.

that is devistating! i hope you get it fixed up and it doesn't go to the written off category with the insurance co.
so is the other guy in hospital? because if the accident didn't send him there it'd be hard not to put him there yourself!
whereabouts are you? i've got a spare bonnet (its fb, but aren't they the same?) if it helps. i'm in port macquarie nsw.
cheers, luke

sorry to hear mate I hope you can sort it

dude... that sucks man! big time!

i hope all goes well with the insurance...and they fix it

cheers
Nathan
