Did this happen on glossop st with a blue ford falcon.
White vl sedan with chromies and green p'z?
mm ouch.
that is a bit of work.
depends how handy u are with cars?
honestly u could almost be better off scrappin it for the good parts into another shell.
how much does it owe u?
To be fixed properly by a qualified panel beater, your definatly looking at 3k+.
Radiator Support.
Nose Cone.
Bonnet.
Bar & Reinforcement.
L/H Guard, maybe R/H.
Headlights & Indicators.
Rails would probably need to get pulled too. Also to be done properly, the car would need to go on a Car Aligner.
if your handy with the spanners it can be fixed on the cheap. I had a similar looking damage on a VH and suprising once you get all the gaurds bonnet, bumber and lights all off the car the damage isnt so bad. All the parts can be bought cheap. I have spare left gaurd, nose cone, bonet, head lights, bumper support and other bits and pieces that would help with the repair if you want to PM me. all you may need to do is get it to the panel beaters with all the part removed to keep cost down and get them to replace or repair radiata support and put all the bolt on panels and parts back together yourself.
NA yeh?? id be wrecking the car and buying a new one.. even if you fix it will never drive the same and will prob cost you more to fix than to replace..
yeah its a NA..ill see how things go i think ill just end up getting a new vl. the engine isnt damaged tho turned it on today worked but the steering wheel was hard/stiff.
