Hey guys,

Another update: went down to the panel shop today in my sister's little holden nova and talked to the guy there... they've stripped it down (see pics) and ordered all of the parts. They said they had trouble getting a few (didn't mention which ones) but they managed to find all of them in the end... hope theres no dodgy stuff going on!

The parts should arrive early next week, then off to the spray shop and back for assembly... should be finished halfway through not next week but the week after :)

Hey Guys,

Well i was coming home from visiting a friend last night in Tocumwal (NSW, just over the border for those not aware) and was told to come via Seymour and Yea because "it would be a more interesting drive". Anyway, came through Seymour, cruising down the Goulburn Valley Highway at 100 clicks

that makes no sense... if you were coming from the Yea direction its not the GV highway... the GV highway is the shepp side of town and its a freeway :( and if you were coming from tocumwal i dunno why they told you to go through Yea and shit... its like.... completely out of the way lol

u should of called Jar up and stayed at his place he lives in seymore!!!

yeah coz i like random dudes i dunno stayin at my house all the time haha

I don't think we can compare police officers here...They didnt pull you over because you're a p-plater driving a skyline....they stopped because your car was destroyed and sitting on the side of the road....with a dead kangaroo a few meters away...they weren't going to charge you with street racing...

lol zactly.

I'm *pretty* sure it was the GV highway... i was coming from the Seymour direction towards Yea.... I think :O

I live out the other side of the city, Wantirna to be precise, lol just headed towards Yea and was planning on following signs all the way back... but didn't end up getting there :O

where were you when you hit the roo? in seymour? or had you already gone through it? you'd know if you had gone through seymour if you were heading towards yea coz u have to go through the entirety of the town

and i thought you meant you were coming from Yea > Seymour. you woulda gone down the GV coming from tocumwal... but yeah going the Yea way is still a dodgy way lol

shoulda just gone down the GV and got on the hume... much, much easier.

Got a call from the panel shop this morning asking me to go down and have a look at something...

Turns out that when the car was repaired from a previous accident, the top chassis rail that goes along the passenger side (drawn in red below) was welded wrong... so there is a different gap to the other side... nothing that can be seen until you open the bonnet and even then only if you are *really* looking for it.

While I was there I took a couple more photos of the work in progress... they think I should have my car back on friday :glare::D:D

Well I got my car back yesterday :yes::D:no::D

All appears pretty good... very slight misalignment issue with the bonnet and the guard... a slightly larger gap (i.e. 2-3mm more on the repaired side to the original side), but other than that pretty good. The Air Conditioning was not cold at all, so I rang and they have organised for me to go and see the airconditiong specialists who re-gassed it... must be some form of leak.

Other than those few minor issues, I am *very* happy with the service and work at Baywood Panels, they were friendly, had no problems with me popping in every few days to have a sticky-beak, and they did a pretty good job.

I'll have to take it outside and take some good pictures while it's just been detailed :D

      I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.

      To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.

      Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.
