Dam bad luck with the crash mate, could always try a dodgy e-series fix, strip out the front, get some pullys and try to pull out the bended front frame??? then just use lots of filler :lol:

Young, dumb and full of cum. We all go through it.

I always tell people to who have no insurance to at least get third-party. If you went into the side of a new FG FPV or a 911 Turbo you'd be well and truly fucked.

I know everyone is saying you should have insurance, but they aren't going to cover you when you are driving like a fuckwit. So either way, suck it up and learn from your mistakes.

Had a look at this car this arvo......rh rail is kinked up and twisted under the battery, both skirts are damaged and the LHtower, etc has moved left about 10-15mm without a good rack job it aint gonna be the goods again

and unfortunately for an EB its just not worth repairing albeit a very very clean car.....

yet again sorry to see it happen to such a nice car but lifes like that

NNNNnnnnoooooooooooo! I'm so sad, both for the you and for the car. She was such a sweet girl.

Sorry to hear about mate.
Do I need to have a signature or can I just leave this part blank?
I'm not sure what to write. What if it sounds stupid? I don't know what's cool these days. Maybe the kids will laugh at me if I write something that's not cool. I'm going leave this signature thing blank. Just in case. Yep, that's what I'll do

So what are your plans from here on in then?
They shall plant vineyards and drink the wine of them. And they shall build their lay cities and live in them
And they shall also make gardens and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, which I have given them
And the mountains shall drop sweet wine and the hills shall melt.

Thats a real shame mate. Sorry to see it as it was so clean like everyone else has said. Axles are worth alot on truck too. Just for an axle beam is around the $1700 and Hub to hub $3200 so I hope its not damaged to much for your sake. Was the car sold or write off?

Having Insurance is an essential part of owning a car, house, boat, etc. It saves your ass and isn't expensive. I have Full Comprehensive Insurance with Just Car on both my EB and DF and even that is cheap. EB is $480 and the DF $1100 that being that it is a V8 and I am under 25 years. So if full is $480 then 3rd party would be around the $270-$350 mark being an EB. It is a lot better than $7k. Look at it this way you wouldn't live without having Ambulance Cover and/or Health Insurance coz its too risky not too. For $60 for singles and $120 for family why wouldn't you? Is it worth risking your life for only $60 per year rather that $2000? Well same goes for your car and all assets you own. Sorry for being so dramatic :cry:

Hey mate, don't apologise to me buddy, she was fully yours.
I just can't imagine how you're feeling - especially now she's sold.
Good luck with what you choose to do from here...

Do you want to buy a clean VS Commo wagon? (Superlows, big exhaust tip etc. etc.) :lol:

Postby DaNeOs » June 17th, 2008, 9:10 am

just wondering if you actually damaged the diff/ diffs on the trucks or just moved them?
because being a tipper the diff's usually found in tippers are 44tonners,
if you actually damaged the diffs, i can say your 3000$ bill, i would be very happy about.

when you put into account ,
Bare housing - 2500 - 4000$
Wheel/s - 500$- 2000$ (allowing if it was alloy / 10 stud and depending on how many)
Torque Rod Bushed - 200 - 300$ (if the diff moved the bushes would be f!cked)
Universal Joint - 200 - 300$ (if the diff moved the phasing angles of the uni's would have been altered, causing pre-mature wear.
Towing Costs - 300 - 1500$ (depending where it was towed to? if it was loaded would have had to be towed to tip the back to the repair shop)

thats 3500 - 8000$ not including Labour, there is approx 15 hours of labour involved in R&R of a truck axel,
which is approx 1000$

but still a shame about the car, but hey shit happens :)
my 2 cents :)
Nissan patrol GU II - 3ltr TD - Auto - 3" Dump & Exhaust - 4" lift - Custom bars & Snorkel - NADS - 35s - Reduction Gears -

Soon - Sliders - Lockers

Just a tip, Dumped.
If you're keen on buying something. PM the cvnt. Stop it with these useless posts that never eventuate into anything
