Wanted: Panel man

[Leon]

Right, have bent Corolla.

Anyone here have panel contacts who can violence a car straight again.

Doesn't have to be even slightly pretty. Just has to be straight enough to bolt everything back together again. Inner guard has only folded in once place. Chassis rail doesn't appear too bad. Crossmember under radiator has taken huge hit though, so that's where lots of straightening needs to happen.

It's only a dirty old club car, so unless the fix is cheap, I'll be selling the car as is, and let somebody else take on the repair.

cross member is easyer to repace then fix. i cant realy see the damage to the inerguard but dosent that bad. i can fix it if u bring it up to plamy

[Leon]

I'm pretty sure I can borrow trailer

Do you want to pm me a ballpark repair cost?

[Anth_555]

can u get a better pics of the iner guard . $200 to $250 + the x member will you find one or do u want me to get one?

If you have the technology to get a cross member, that'd be quicker than me trying to hacksaw the front off a car at pick a part

Will get a photo of the inner guard tomorrow when it is light.

[spoonza6]

yeah fully agree, be easier to replace the cross member

might have to check the rails as it could of been hit upwards slightly
but bit hard to tell from the photos n that

[Anth_555]

lol no one in there right mind could fix that. they talkn shit if they say they can and do , the frist stone that hits it the cross member will be alover the road from the bog that was in it.

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

Leon wants it fixed not cut up in to smallish pieces that then become garden ornaments

[Leon]

Yeah, I checked with Donna. I'm not allowed to turn a car into garden ornaments. Though I have entirely taken over one lawn.

[Dell'Orto]

Yeah, I checked with Donna.

Thats where you went wrong

[ae82 gt 4 us]

May be able to assist getting car up there if it eventuate's.

[Leon]

May be able to assist getting car up there if it eventuate's.

That may be rather excellent.

I'm just waiting to get hold of Ray H to shoot over to his place to see if he has all the AE92 panels he think he does, then the car is ready to be moved

[ae82 gt 4 us]

Sweet trailer and ute at Palmy at mo. Driving variety of cars and should be doing so in weekend. So will have to make it a week night. Will keep you posted, could be any day though, as alot of work on go up there for me. Cheers Brent.

[CAMB01]

The car Ray was talking about the other night is an AE82 not an AE92.
Its black and see it everytime i go up to work on the EVO.

[Leon]

Yeah, there is some confusion surrounding this.

He has determinedly stated "it is a NZ new Gti-16" which = AE92

Yet Andrew has determinedly stated "I has only AE82's in the barn from Ray".

I'm ten minutes drive away from Ray, so the easiest way to be sure, is drive there and use eyeballs.

[CAMB01]

I got told the black AE82 there was Michael's, Ray's son.

[Leon]

Yes, I've been told the same thing, so I suspect we have communication fail on the difference between AE82 and AE92s.

Which will be a downer, as it means I have to restart my mission to get the right AE92 bits again.

This will slow progress down to a halt again.

[XSVWGN]

what parts do you need? My hatch obviously had a frontal but maybe i have some parts you can have
