ChrisS Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Tom, Welcome, I removed your mobile number as this forum is visited by lots of bots and spiders.Best to converse via PM. The problem it you will not be able to read them or reply untill you have had 5 posts approved. This is due to a lot of spamming recently. So get posting. Quote
HaydnH Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 A bit of a bump!!? Sounds that way... or maybe he's doing what Beau did and buying/repairing a crash damaged Z? Actualy it might be worth contacting as he's recently done something similar. Quote
Beau Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Some pictures may tell us/show us how badly the damage is? I have been through it allready. Firstly any chassis damage, as it seems to be a front head on impact? Airbags deployed? Picturres!!! Quote
Tomzed Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Hi no it was only a slow speed bump perfectly straight the impact was with a barrier. The cars perfectly straight it's gone under the barrier and hit it where the bonnet joins to the bumper so missed all the impact bar etc and damaged radiator etc instead I'll try and put a pic on in 1 min Ps no the airbags have not deployed wasn't going fast enough Quote
Tomzed Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 There you go guys as you can see it's no where near as bad as the rest of the sees I see accident damaged online Quote
Ricey Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 buddy you must be gutted! As no ones said it already I'll get it in there or R33LEE Quote
Beau Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Thats not too Bad at all, well compared to mine I found that ebay was a good source of parts, as well as breakers. Any arms or main components though is best sourced either through alex or Lee. I went down another road of sourcing the main parts from America, worked out a hell lot cheaper than traders and items were Brand New. Let me know if you need any arms ect. Also that drivers side wing looks fine. Maybe a bit of straightening out! Overall, it does not look bad and should be up and running soon. Good Luck! Quote
docwra Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Cheaper to buy aftermarket bumpers and wings TBH, headlights are a stinger and difficult to find though. Quote
Cragus Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Paul on here has facelift headlights - I know that much. Quote
Cragus Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 ...and zman will probably have most other parts. For bumpers aftermarket could be a shout! Quote
Tomzed Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Well I've stripped her down and the good news is everythings straight As can be seen I now know I need a slam panel and coolant overflow bottle Quote
rabbitstew Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Christ, that looks nasty, but good job all is straight. At least you can get good access to those drive belts now!!!! Quote
Tomzed Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 It only took an hour or so to strip I reckon if the engine ever needs to come out this is the easiest way. To be honest it looks worse than it is there's not many pieces to it. Quote
Beau Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 stripping parts is easy, putting them back is where it takes a bit of time. Quote
