colsoop Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Never mind. it is certainly fixable, but if you go through insurance then i expect they will write it off To be honest with you hitting a fox at speed would have probaly done damage anyway Contact jezzybabes, (if you decide to fix yourself) im sure he has the parts you need to fix it up. Good luck fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Sorry to hear that dude Perhaps if you hit the Fox it could have done more damage with the supra being a low car. Fingers crossed the chassis rail isnt terminally damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Cheers guys, personally I'm fine, no injuries here which is the main thing... It was a sign I went through that managed to do all that, but looking at it today I'm really thinking it's looking worse that it is, it's missed the chassis arms, even the impact bar's OK, so I'm hoping it's a wing, bonnet and slam panel style fix... Geneb - You're a star mate, if I need them I'll certainly give you a shout... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 oh bugger, sorry to see this If your chassis leg isn't touched and the inner wing are okay then it's pretty superficial (though will probably still cost ~£1.5k to repair). I'd be careful with your insurance company, it might seem madness but they might try to write it off if they get a quote for repair from Toyota, or their "preffered" bodyshop (which will more than likely go to Toyota anyway).

Supra ST Myster Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 i will have a bonnet for sale after tomorrow, its in perfect condition ie no dents, but will need a respray as its in storm blue but been sanded down a little so the laquar is off.

Pot Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've just got all of the smashed bits off now, obviously I've kept the bonnet on for a touch of security lol... I think it looks a lot better than it previously did so hopefully I'm not looking at an earth shattering amount of ££ - I'm going to be going through the non-insurance route, sourcing as many parts as I can and doing as much as I can, but obviously it'll be going into a bodyshop for at least the welding... http://www.mr-pot.co.uk/pot/supra/oops1.jpg http://www.mr-pot.co.uk/pot/supra/oops2.jpg http://www.mr-pot.co.uk/pot/supra/oops3.jpg http://www.mr-pot.co.uk/pot/supra/oops4.jpg http://www.mr-pot.co.uk/pot/supra/oops5.jpg http://www.mr-pot.co.uk/pot/supra/oops6.jpg http://www.mr-pot.co.uk/pot/supra/oops7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Looks like you got away without bending the chassis leg. Some t-cut shoud take all that out Gimme a shout if you need any spray work done. I dont do it but i know a very tallented guy who does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Sorry to see this mate, amazing just how much these cars crunch up from an impact but that is what they are designed to do to keep us safe. Although when my crash happened I would have gladly taken a broken bone or two instead of the damage to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
