Supra ST Myster Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 ok, so got the car back today from the tow company, so starting stripping the front end down to see damage, and think good news is that there is no chassis damage and i was lucky in just missing the right hand side crash bar.. so damage is Need new Rad (had a fluidlyne in there before) New Tranny cooler Air con rad and pipe knackerd but think i wont bother in replacing this as never use it anyway damaged fan that sits at the bottom in a cage Power steering pipes all damaged and lost all fluid from it new bonnet new door all wheels have damage from when i went up the curb but the air in the tyres so maybe possible to fix the wheels. Going to need new lower panel and upper slam panel and the slim panel that goes around the bottom of the lights, Passenger side quater panel as well New Glass Passenger side headlight New fuse box also as the plastic bit got crushed by the batt New passenger side wing mirror New windscreen washer bottle Only prob bit i think is where the battery sat the panel below it is bent up so will leave that to the body shop to repair aswell as the 2 upper and lower panels as these are welded on. So its all stripped and ready to get the two panels at the front sorted by repair people then buy the above and fit it all back together again! some pics not the best but you get the point..

keron Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 ouch! make sure you check the wishbones and suspension as well if the wheels are damaged as the impact can break the wishbones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra ST Myster Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 UPDATE... Hope to have my car finished for this weekend and ready to take it for a spin and straight to a wheel alignment place and check the geo settings is all ok.. hopefully not bent anything when i went up the curb! cant see any damage so fingers crossed Done all the work myself and very pleased with it really, but thanks to Greg at Turbo Fit for his usal great advise and thanks to Wayne for the replacment panels, had to take the old slam panel off, old rad support panel off (what a pain that was, more spot welds than a spotty teenager with achne! ) and replaced with nice new ones from Steve Manley in Oxford, got a nice new tranny cooler in with Rad, and now running a seperate oil cooler for the Power Steering, just gotta plumb that in then fill the autobox and power steering up and see how it goes, not driven the soop now for 4 weeks! Nearly there now, and if ok then off the spray shop to get a nice new coat of black! may even stick some veilside offenders on there while im at it. Pics will come on sat, got some from my phone but not very clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
