Aww Dude!

I hope you're ok. Cars can be replaced. At least you're here to post about it.

I'm glad I go to see her! She may have been a 2ltr but she was a beaut!

Hope to read soon that you get things sorted and are back on the forum with a new project

Ouch! Blackshadow, that's a sorry mess someone caused to an old car of yours

Paul, I'm with you - don't do arsebook either, so no pics for me too

Rob so sorry to hear about your accident. Glad your OK tho even a little sore.
I hope the women has admitted to the accident.. I know it sounds silly but claiming will be so much easier.
Much damage to her 4x4? I guess she had a tow bar with your bonnet as it is..

Oh ouch!

I hadn't actually seen pics of the car before this either, but can see how mint it was!

So unfair!

Has anything bent on the opposite side (load transferred over the front cross members) or on the roof/around the rear screen/boot floor? Has the suspension tower been bent at all?

If not, I reckon that's still perfectly repairable if you wanted (though value-wise it's bound to be written off by the insurers).
The rear quarter panel could actually be pulled out I reckon and the damage to the front corner is pretty similar to what happened to my JDM?

somehow looks like your bumper escaped intact aside from a scrape to the paint?

such a shame was a very nice lude

did you get the car back from the insurance company then ?

Bloody hell she might as well have just parked on your bonnet. Bet that was scary being on the drivers side! At least you're OK. Good luck sorting the insurance out.

There's zero damage to the rest of the car including suspension etc...

A new bonnet, wing, headlight, bar thingy that goes across the front of the car, and a wing mirror...is all that would be needed to fix the front, then just the dent at the back to sort.
