I Just Killed My Door....

Today, I thought I'd go and give my car a good wash and a polish, since I finished work early. After I washed the car down at the carwash, it started raining on the way home, so I thought I'd put my car in the garage and polish it in there.

After an hour of polishing the back of the bar, I moved onto the side of the car, but since my garage has heaps of stuff in it, there wasn't much room for me to move around along the sides, so I thought I'd move the car half way out of the garage, so I can do the sides.

But instead of just starting my car for 2 seconds, I thought I'd just take off the handbrake and push it out. I opened the door and started pushing it out, and suddenly, the car went over a little bump and started rolling really quickly, and before I had a chance to pull the handbrake, the driver's side just smacked into the side of the garage, and it just jimmed onto the side and stopped the car.....

Now my door doesn't even close properly.....

So I'm just wondering what I should do.... Is it cheaper for me to find a 2nd hand door? or get it repaired (I doubt they can repair it).

Can anyone give me some advice? as to how to repair it, rather than to tell me not to be as stupid as I was lol

And if anyone have a bare R34 driver's side door (without any dents) for sale, please pm me or contact me on 0434 502 855

Thanks

Charles

well if you cant close it, you got nothing to lose, grab a hammer and beat away. :D

then take it into a few panel beaters for free quotes.

I tried beating the crap of out it, but it didn't even move one bit...

The door is strong, but it wasn't strong enough when it hit my garage :P

I'm wondering if buying a new door will be a better option, as to try and get a panel beater to fix it. Because if it's repaired, you can still notice it afterwards, also the inside of the door is ALL dented.... and either way, I'd probably have to get the whole door (if not more) sprayed.... :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
