My first accident

[Ikiru1981]

I'm not proud :blush: lost the back end and the result is this...

Need to start pulling things off tomorrow and assess the damage.

Im gutted but we're gonna rebuild her and alot of the damage to engine etc is stuff we were going to replace in time.

Looks like i'll have to start a new thread with the rebuild.

Im fine just a whopping red mark from the seat belt and a bill from the council to replace the sign post.

I feel like a twat but its done now and I'll just have to get over it

Not good but good your ok that looks like an uneconomical repair

And street furniture is expensive

 

[evogeof]

O no really gutted for you but the main thing is your ok yes??? It's o ly a car but it was a nice one

 

[chrishfq300]

It may be, well see what tomorrow reveals.

But this is the car I want so that money I was gonna save for a respray will have to be spent elsewhere for now, then we'll work on making her look pretty again after :hm:

Gives Dean something to tinker with tho

If you see any flaking or anything on chassis rails or inner wings it may of been twisted even though you may think its strait it may not be might be worth jigging it if you hit it at a fair old speed.

But i would defo have a good look around all inner arches as that would of deffo pulled something in

Yea if its the same in the front end as the rest of the evos then there is a cross member under the radiator which is linked to the chassis legs and if that's bent then there is a good chance the chassis legs will be pulled in together.

Hope it's not that bad though !! Let us know how you get on

Sorry mate

 

[LeeEvoMR9]

Happen to use all buddy chin up bring her back bigger and better I say

 

[gooner8]

o not good! As long as your ok! Nightmare isn't it i no the feeling! Let's hope it aint as bad as it look's.

 

[Marty.H]

Another thing is chassis rails can be pulled in when a cross member is bent but sometimes when you cut it in the middle to remove bent cross member the chassis rails ping back out you may be lucky and get away with it that way lets hope so

[Nickygixer-k5]

Aww Zena i'm gutted for you. You know I loved that car, but as already said as long as your ok that's the main thing. I hope it can be repaired as it would be a shame for our old skool kool to die.

 

[youngy_315]
