Hey fellow soarer owners. I've been following the general soarer chat for a while now and thought I should finally say G'day. Well down to business my soarer is a 98 jzz31 with vvti and leather interior. She was purchased as a damaged vehicle and after several months a large amount of patience (from me and my dad) and 14 trips to the RTA its finally back together and registered (Phew). I'd just briefly like to thank everyone who assisted us on the rebuild and my dad. Any way look forward to seeing you all on the various cruises and meetings Cheers Rob

sure.. it was purchased as a written off vehicle with an impact on the driver side door.
Dural prestige did all the repairs here is the A pillar being replaced
here is a almost there photo, still with no engine in place
With the engine just fitted, still no front screen
and above is the finished product..
As a side note if you ever decide to repair a written off vehicle be sure to obtain the VIN number's off vehicles from which the parts came from. We used a 2nd hand bonnet guard and door all from three different cars. The vehicle identification inspectors were rather annoyed and failed the vehicle due to us not having this information. After several calls and emails across the country the required info was obtained and the car was eventually passed.
