Its only my daewoo.... but now im out of transport while i wait for my R32 to get complied in NSW.

I always swore to myself that i would just run over animals rather than put myself at risk like all those other "idiots" u see.... well i was wrong...

It took me by surprise... it could have ended up much worse but i managed to handle it pretty well and only cause minor damage to the car.

The front left wheel is damaged and looks like it has been pushed back a little on impact... wheel is slightly cambered now too :D looks like suspension and cross member is damaged but i dont know much about cars and hope its not going to cost too much to repair.

Thankfully at 1am a P plater girl actually stopped for me after sitting there in the rain for half an hour trying to get it out the ditch... eternally greatful to her for stopping and actually driving me home to get my bro in law to tow me out with his Jackaroo. Most girls would have driven str8 past but she ignored the possible dangers and actually picked me up. 1 Million thanks to that girl!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
