well it was a dirt road that cuts thru a paddock. this weekend i hope to start pulling it all apart. hope to find a front mount intercooler, do the 100 000 km service. maybe find a fancy front end to put on there..

ps,, another couple of pics of my cars

frank did your chassis fine cause I ran up the back of a BA xr6 falcon Ute (three days old) and my chassis saved my new FMC, lights basically everything important but if it is twisted it is going to cost a bit to straighten. I am just wondering about yours cause I didn't have as much damage and you hit the roo faster then I hit the Ute. Does any one know the price of a new bonnet because I believe mine is rescue able but if a new bonnet may be the cheap option?

Seriously though, I feel your pain.

it has come very close to making a decision. i am pretty close to selling wot i have for parts as i dont have any money to spend on repair. it brings me close to tears how i could part with my baby, but i am thinking its for the best i put her down. its a tough call.

thoughts anyone??

Looks pretty bad once all the gear is out of the way!! I would say, if you can't afford to get it fixed properly.....put it down and sell the bits. You really don't want a dodgy repair. By the way.....what is the bill from the panel beater if he fixes it??

front end... not so good

the panel beaters are very good, but warn me they dont want to blow my money on something that i could waste time and money on.
