Hi all,

I've damaged my front left guard, front bar, and front left head light. They need replacing, preferably 2nd hand if possible. Also my hood is damaged at the front left corner, but I got told this can be repaired without having to replace the hood.

Can anyone help?

I've been quoted $1,200 for the respray, but need parts!

Please let me know if you can help, or you are a panelbeater, or know any good mates who are, that will give a good price.

Kind Regards,

James

anytime anyone i know has gotten into a fender bender i just go with them to wreckers grab the parts they need and the same colour as well, try get it the same year so the fade is about the same, and throw it on. my mate got quoted the exact same price as you did to get it all fixed, fixed it ourselves for 350. thats just parts from the wreckers, we got all the parts the same colour. if your really picky just pay someone to polish/wax your car properly and that should fix some of the different shades lol.

WRECKERS FTW

I was thinking of buying the parts from the wreckers direct myself. What are some good ones to go to that would have skylines there?

look around as some try to rip you on different parts, and when calling around make sure you tell them that they actually have the part, and arent going to make you go there for no reason.

a good wrecker for any import, but i have to say probly mainly skylines (you'll see why when you go there if you do) is sydney auto dismantlers in greenacre.

but look around there a there are others right next to each other, also yennora has quite a few wreckers.

goodluck with it, let me know how you go.

cheers, issa.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
