ohh dmd aye goin top dollar

[predator]

looks quite bad but hopefully its all starting to look pretty good now!

Makes me wonder though. My mate who has too much money and not enough brains, is just gonna lash out $6500 to get his GTR fixed. Similar damage levels I think. I told him he was best off doing it himself if he wasn't too lazy to try..

Looks like you took out a bit of a farm there smooth

haha its not a crow bar, its a pinch bar

get it rite will ya.

Dude, a pinch bar is about 2 foot long and has a hook in one end......a crow bar is 6 foot long and weighs 20 or so kgs...........

[EnricoPalazzo]

whoops.

[knore]

ouch man

that is pretty bad,

you should get someone who knows what their doing to measure the sub-frames to see if their bent at all. Any harder and you would have taken out the radiator and probably bent the chassis too

best bet: Take it to a well known import repairer and ask them to have a look, aslong as you seem like you will get it fixed there. Theyll be happy to do it for free.

DMD MITE be able to do it, buy their mainly bodykit, not body-repair

id say just get a wheel alignment done that will give u a fair indication of whether or not something is out of wack or not, thats what i did after my run in with a gutter, luckily it all came up sweet. Id say u should be right though.

[SmoothLine]

I measured under the car point to point from 8 different spots, its all perfect...

Final peices will arrive tommorow arvo, then i Just have to get the new front bar fitted

[MJ]

Sweet man good to hear its all coming along good!

i bet your having withdrawls from not driving your car hehe

[NA_R33]

Awesome man, good to here u saved urself some cash, and u prolly got that feeling of self satisfaction having done it urself too..... ok well at least i get it sometimes....

[knore]

Trust me, ive been here and done this, not as bad as this.. but ive been there

well actually im 'there' now hehe, except im lazy and getting it done by someone else, get it back in a week

I can tell you one thing thats certain, you have so much more respect for your car after something like this happens.

[SmoothLine]

Its all complete now! Ac fan and two new lights went on today! The lights are different, but god damn they look nice Took me a while to get it all to sit properly...

Knore: you should have done it yourself, if i didnt have to wait for parts etc, I would have had it done in 1 day. About 12 hours labour I guess...

Final pics of progress and finished product to come tommorow...
