looks like the motor stopped the car....doesnt start does it?? does it even crank....dont recommend trying it...but i assume you already tried...really need open bonnet pics to see how bad the damage is....i guess no insurance? would the inexperienced driver be your partner?

would be repairable...probably about 7k worth of damage to the body....dunno bout the motor until you can that bonnet up, the rails could be kinked/bent aswell...sucks either way....everyone alright??

Thanks for all the replies. Answers to all the questions...

Will post more pics shortly.

Had an offer of $3k, seems like a fair price to me.

Can't be bothered parting out.

Doesn't start or crank, yes I tried.

Missus was driving, bruised nicely but that's it. We bought it for her on Tuesday night. Went from an NA 4x4 sedan to this and just wasn't ready.

Uninsured due to owning it less than 24 hours before accident. Big F for Fail.

No real mods.

mattsr33 did the same thing begining of last year i think. cost him (or his dad) about half of what u think. get a new radiator support, bonnet, front bar and a couple of other bits and get it going again. better than loosing im guessing 8 to 9 grand on a bingle. parts can be found pretty cheap around here if you look

You posted this on Antilag as well yeah?

If it didn't hit the firewall, get a panel beater to have a look at it in person for you, if it's not a structural write off, then find an emtpy (or remnants) off an R33 halfcut and get a welder to do some cash work for you.

Chase down front end parts that were damaged, put it all back together, get it going.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
