I hate to say it, but I think it's close to a write off. Maybe not quite - but damn close.

The way the fender is crinkled in front of the driver's side door indicates frame rail damage.

I agree...

Frame could be OK, but that crinkle in the fender does not look good at all...

Hey guys,
I was seriously trying to figure out where those wrinkles came from. Knowing my luck, their will be serious damage.

I still don't know about the oil leak. My car is still at my bosses house and no one was home when I was out their.

Here are a few more pics.












heh, The good side

Sorry to see that, and remeber **** happens so don't beat yourself up to bad and thank your lucky stars that the Air bags (if it has them) did not deploy. Then she is totaled.

He did not end up having any frame damage if IRC. He used all new panels and got the front resprayed.

Hey Hally. I noticed that you only got one lap done when you had your off. Hope Eric Bana didn't give you a nudge! Any luck sourcing parts. Now maybe the time to look at fibreglass or composite panels if possible.
Good luck.

Hally, I wouldn't know how to ship anything to you, but let me know if you need anything. I've got most of the front end stuff.

Kevin, thanks for that! Pauerman has quite a chunk of the big stuff so things are looking bright on the parts side of things. Will definitely drop u a pm once i have sorted out what i have covered and what else i need. First i just need to make sure its all feasible, hopefully tomorrow i will have all the info i need to progress.

next time it is raining at the track, i am going to get a coffee and read the newpaper until the sun comes out, leave it to the penguins, but before all that first i have to wiggle my big toe as black mumba would say.

Holly thread resurrection!!

Yep, Caster is correct. Local body shop fixed it up for me. All new front end parts and front end re-spary. Looked good until I hit a peacock and buggered it up again. (this was just under a year ago)
