Just got the skyline back from the panel beaters last week from a nice magna diciding to use my back end as a brake on old mandurah road about a month ago. This morning going down to get some cash out for a dyno day at in tune performance with the toyota guys, and a 70yo in a busted ass l300 toyota van decides to pull out of his parking bay just as i was passing. You guessed it, i now own a busted front passengers side fender. off the the panel beaters i go again. As the old saying goes NOT HAPPY JAN :( :( :laugh::)

spotted bnc32 there too, nice to meet you. made 280rwhp as well

yeh, he's got insurance so no problem there. seeing if its cheaper for him to just give me cash to fix. recon about $100 for the new (second hand) guard and about 300 to prep and paint. gunna see my favorite panel beater tomorrrow

well.good news, insurance has been approved, although not real happy with getting a second hand guard (although Shannon's has promised me it will be in perfect condition). looks like they will replace the headlight to as it has a small crack in it. dunno where they will find a chrome headlight from though. just have to wait for the parts to come in now. :D

    • 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!
