L18msy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bad times mate. It doesn't look that bad a repair to be honest,looks as if the front end has swayed to passenger side. If possible get the intercooler out of the way and bolt the old bumper bar back on and pull it back over. drop the bonnet catches down and sit the bonnet down and watch the bonnet gaps come over when pulling. That will give you a rough guide of where it should be. Also check that bonnet hinges aren't bent so it won't throw your gaps out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 The bonnet is pushed back. The bumper is folded into 2 pieces ATM split down the middle, not much use for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I was meaning the bar that bolts on behind it, once bolted on it is easier to pull the legs back across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Got a uk bumper and bonnet hinges sorted, need glass headlights, crash bar and that bit I can't remember the name of thats under the rad Bodyshop say bonnet, maybe drivers wing and even the bit that the headlights sit in should be salvageable after some spot welds. Bonus! Passenger wing is fine. Anyone got pics of a storm blue car with facelift frontlights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 I didn't get any tbh. Between moving it so it wasn't blocking both carriageways and being sat in the back of a police car and being on the phone it was a bit of a blur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi all I'm having a hard time finding a replacement for that intercooler pipe. Other than buying a whole new set of pipes which is a bit more than I can afford. Anyone know where I can get a replacement for it? Or get one made? There are silicone hose kits on eBay for 60 odd quid but I'd rather not... They are xs power too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi fella, sorry to hear your news. I should have pipes in the next couple of weeks as I have a front mount to put on. Which one do you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Just a quick update for anyone interested. Car is at the bodyshop and has been pulled appart. And I have a list of parts I need. Most of which will come new from Toyota (lights, lower rad support, upper rad/headlight support, slam panel, fan shroud, crash bar) little num has sorted me a uk spec bumper and bonnet hinges. I still need to organise a drivers wing though. Will make some calls tomorrow. Amazingly my airbox is still in good nick. But the bad news is the impact shoved the chasis leg into the end section of the intercooler, tearing it like paper! Thankfully its not somewhere you can see it and the bodyshop can get alu welding done at a good price and he might also be able to replace my piece of squashed pipe.

Homer Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Good news mate and great that you're putting it back together. Hope it doesn't end up costing too much, but sounds like you've got things well covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well the fitting, painting and repairing will be 1500-1800. Parts I think will end up arround 600-700 half of which is headlights! It's been an interesting week. One of our cats has been in the vets and cost me 450 quid today. But he made up for it when he got home still dopey from anaesthetic. 'drunk' cat is funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 I might give him a try but the extra cost for shipping compared to just picking Them up at the local dealership might make it not worth while. I think the local place gives a discount for owners club numbers so that will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Quick update : My wallet is £900 pounds lighter after a trip to Toyota this afternoon... I also picked up a uk bumper and bonnet hinges from little num and a front wing and crashbar from Silverstone garage/qsd. As soon as the bits arrive from Toyota it's a matter of the bodyshop getting the car on the jig and pulling it back into shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
