ShawnPreece Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) As alot of you already know this happened a couple of weeks back.... Luckily there is no mechanical damage and the chassis, shell etc are all perfect so is just a matter of new wheels and new bodykit and will be perfect just how she was. I will however be making a few other modifications along the way and will be keeping this thread up to date. p.s. This is the only photo taken of the damage and I wont take any more as I want to forget the incident but just adding one on this thread so that this thread can remain a journal of the transformation of the car and the full journey she has had under my ownership. Onto the next step of getting her back on the road aswell as much improved and better than ever Edited July 20, 2017 by ShawnPreece (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she staying the same on the outside? Thanks mate, she will be very similar yeah, will be a few surprises in store for her but mostly the same cosmetically Jesus man so sorry to see your Supra in this state, a hell of alot of work to loose there, hope all goes well with her being back soon Thanks mate yeah she will be back, making the best of a bad situation and doing a few more bits to her at the same time, would be abit demoralizing to bring her back exactly the same as the incident would always stick in my mind worse so if I use it as an excuse to improve her at least I can use it as a memory that spurred me on to do more improvements What happened? Water and R888's with a driver (me) that put his foot down abit much knowing the fact he had R888's on and was water everywhere. I never take it out in the wet for this reason but was on a weekend away up in applecross. It only happened at about 20mph and only slid onto a grass bank but still done alot of damage.

I will remember this as I have just got my set of R888's ! Thanks mate yeah definitely be careful with them, in the dry I cant compliment them enough they are fantastic but they dont like the wet. This wouldn't put me off using them again id just be more careful in the wet but I knew this anyway and had been warned alot so was all my own fault.

Still at least you are ok and it's good to see you are so positive about using it as an opportunity for improvement. Looking forward to the up-dates. Thankyou mate yeah I had the initial thoughts of just wanting to break it and get rid of everything for an hour or so at the time but they soon passed and now thinking positive and trying to make the best of the situation would always look at the accident as a downer if I redone her the same so at least I will see it as something that spurred me on to improve her when I look back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Glad you got the ridox bits mate! thanks for pointing them out mate there are a few cracks in the front bumper so will assess that when I get it as I dont want to use anything thats been repaired really but it is a genuine one so if its not too bad then will use it but was a good price just for the fenders anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
