i took a hit in the rear in my r33 and it was written off and was no where near as bad as this. i know the feeling mate, hard luck indeed.

see if u can buy the wreck back off the insurance company then strip it down :-)

Its a very sad site at home today. When I opened the blinds to let the sun in from the kitchen, there she was, all twisted and crumpled.

Mitchy is a little overwhelmed with what happened and isn't sure how he feels, whether it be sad/angry etc... I feel very sad, You come accustomed to someones car being a little bit of them....and its a bit of mitchy out there all bent and twisted. :(

What I don't like and find very insensitive are those people pm'ing him already asking for parts. >_<

IF he decides to buy back the car from the insurance co, all parts will be in the for sale thread.. Since this only happened yesterday, I doubt that that is going to happen anytime soon...so grow some patience and some decorum... www.dictionary.com for those that haven't seen that word before!!

There I've said my piece >_<

Thanks,

Kylie

Glad to hear you're ok Mitchy. Sorry about the car >_<

Kylie - I agree. When my 180sx got written off people started asking for parts that day. The same thing happenned to Dan with his GTR. Its so rude.... the last thing you're thinking of is pulling parts off your baby to sell.

So what happens in this situation? Did you manage to drive the car back to your house or did the towie tow it back.

I have always tried to figure out how towies work as i think they get paid extra $$$$ for towing it to panel beaters and I was under the impression that if the police come it has to go straight to a panel beater? can anyone confirm that?

If it is at your house and no one has taken records of whats damaged etc then does anyone know how far you can go in removing parts?

I dont want any parts as SLY is lovely just the way she is, however should unfortunately this happen to any of us this could be of interest to us all to make a somewhat smarter move out of an unfortunate incident.

Mitchy, Kylie - My condolences to both of you.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
