i smacked into a tree.....luckily i wasnt speeding, or else the impact woulda been WORSE.

would it be better to get parts from wreckers? or from people? coz i heard that wreckers over charge u...

but right now, i really cant afford postage for the bonnet, bumper etc....thats why im trying to find some1 selling it locally, so i can pick it up with cash

Sorry to see that mate... I only banged the back of my car and that nearly made me cry in terror... I feel for you.... look on the bright side, it's all cosmetics... will be expensive to fix, but slowly you will get it all fixed... it's not totally impossible!

Jump on www.yellowpages.com.au and look up some local wreckers... remember to bargain down heaps as they're really expensive sometimes!

Good luck.

And oh, you didn't have full comprehensive insurance?? IF so, claim on that... it will end up be cheaper!

Bad luck buddy. Depending on the damage that you cant see in the pic 3 to 5 k. As Ash said get a few more quotes. Try Micolour - Cheltenham or DT Panels - Springvale.

actually, i did go to DT, the guy said that if i can provide all the parts, he can fix it for just 650 labour, but he only had a glance over the car, not sure if he saw allll the damage.....

if your chassis is bent, it won't be 'road worthy'. It'll cost quite a bit to repair it. Not sure how they do it, straightening it perhaps?

Besides getting those parts, maybe you might want to invest in a better set of tyres as well to prevent this from happening again.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
