China Man Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 my neck hurt a little..... Well, I was on my way to Matts to get some ice install, the alpine HU, speakers and the turbo timer. turn off bow fly over and into A12, hit the gas , back wheels spin a bit, back stick out, slide, over/understeer and ran into the side wall, car spin around and roll onto the kerb........I think the air bag must have hit me quite hard. All happened in a few seconds. Called RAC and got it back to my driveway. SUPRA2000, I am in Forest Gate near Straford. I am trying to open the bonnet but it is stucked China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovatt Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 bad luck mate i dont think that is going to be fixed with bolt on parts, drivers side leg needs to be checked and the drivers side flitch also looks close, the slam pannel is weld on and that has def gone. get somebody to pull the bonnet cable and rag the bonnet open, just yank as hard as you can as its fooked anyway. if that does not work try to bend the bonnet back down into shape a bit first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Hey china man - damn i only met you at Billing as well . . never mind, these things happen - If its any consolation buddy, I've learnt to lok at these things as a blessing in disguise - you can now think about having a different nose cone (i love the bOmex) and change the look of your car a little. I've ended up with a new front spiler, new alloys and a colour coded dash ! anyway mate - we run a Bodyshop up in Staples Corner - a fair bit away I know, but let me know if you're stuck or need anything done. They've worked on a few supras before here - mine was rear & frontal with suspension damage. Good luck in getting your baby back on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 Yes sky, lucky I didn't hurt anyone and I went alone in the car with out my girlfriend. With her screaming and kicking next to me it think it will turn out worse then it is. Don't really know what to do at the mo, I need to notify my insurer but not sure if I should make a claim. Do I ask them to have a look at it b4 I make a claim ? never had any accident b4 and I am still a bit shocked China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Like he just said. First thing that sprang into my mind was top secret bumper, UK glass lights, TRD replica carbon bonnet, new alloys There are 2 sides to every coin just try and look at the side with the happy smilie queen on it.
