Hey man that's just bad luck buddy, it doesn't take much just a small lapse in focus. Same thing happened to me last week only I hit a yellow street bollard with a huge sounding bang! I freaked cause I hadn't seen it and it scared the s@#t out of me... When I got out to look at the right rear quarter panel expecting the worst I see the bollard has come out of the ground and when I looked at my car I thought my eyes where playing tricks on me as there was no dings cripples or dents of any what so ever. Only yellow paint strips from the bollard. I went home and cleaned and polished off the paint marks. Very lucky in the end.
Hope your car is fixable. |

First time at a wreckers looking for a new rim but no luck,

Your car looks great man, i have found from my short experience that everyone from AGT helps you out with all your problems and can give you some great ideas! The mods so far to the car look great man, and those rims for $1 i think that must be the best deal i have ever heard! Im sorry to hear about your accident, but i had one myself and have learnt so much from it. I guess these early stages are full of lessons, but as long as you can get the car back on the road you'll know for next time. Im not sure if you'll be attending MegaMeet now, but if you are im planning to be there In response to the strutbar, looks great man and im sure it'll make a huge difference! All i would say though (yes a little late but oh well), you can actually get strutbars from Corksport in the USA for $89. Yes you do need to pay postage, but i believe if you buy both Front and Rear ($178) then its like $40-ish for postage (i could be wrong though). So for a total of $220, you could have a brand new F&R set which ive heard different opinions, but some believe Corksport are made of the same quality as Mazdaspeed and Cusco, so quite strong. Good luck with the repairs anyways, im sure ill see you around soon

I end up starting on Friday arvo after school and got it up too that last photo on the Sunday around 5pm but I must say it was alot of hard work and I started to get really annoyed by the end of it. I've still got to pay to get it sprayed throw but might sand it back once more and just fix up little imperfections
