I have to ask, what did you do to it? I hope all involved are ok.
I agree, buy another and break this one for spares if you have the room.

If the chassis/mechanicals are ok - rebuild it. Look for a donor RR with reasonable panels (easier said than done!) and a blown motor. Should be able to get something for couple of grand or less. What happened to it??

Or, if you are in NSW sell it to me. I might need the spares for my 89;)

On first sight most of the damage is cosmetic, although you sure did a thorough job on damaging most of the panels.
The doors seem the best, although its hard to tell from the photos. Are you aware that all of the panels are bolt on? You can DIY replace nearly all the panels .
Ie the rear guards and corners are held by self tappers inside and a few rivets. The bonnet of course, the plenum panel, the front guards etc etc.
A wrecker like Graeme Cooper may have quite a few of the panels.
This is as long as you have not damaged the turret inner structure or the uprights inside the rear corners. if so you may as well write it off.
The most expensive bits will probably be lights.

Glad no no one was seriously injured ......

The 89 is Blue and still tame at the moment:(. Gets used eveyday so I can't pull it all apart a once. It will be a rolling build up:eek:

ok after a lotof thinking and looking around for the parts i wld need to rebuild my old girl . i have decided to sell her so if you wld like to make me an offer pls contact me on 60335565 nsw (02) or reply here and or pm . :( i wld of like'd to fix her up and rebuild her / mod her up. but i need wheels to get to work and such and i just cant afford to do both unfortuantly. i did get a phone call about a rolling shell i think from a member here so if thats still available you wld have everything you need to fix her exp. the re-spay. she is a 90 classic 160,000kms on the clock the engine and transmission are sound , interior not as new but in very good nick only a cpl little things , roof lining is ok. it is a family RR it was my mothers b4 it was mine it is also reg'd till 09. plymouth blue.good tyres but i punctured 1 in the crash so the front drivers side has the spare on it.still running sounds good.I will post some pics this arvo as im just about to run into town for some things maybe a game of pool at the pub .
