Thread: bummer!

Buy another one and use the mechanics for spares.....

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.

everyone is ok thankfully , was waring thongs and i cld'nt lift the accelerator off the floor also the front and rear brake pads needed replacing so thay were'nt much help . the new brakepads arrived a day or so after the incedent.

went though a very hardy steel fence.

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??

If your in Vic, sell it to me for a $1000

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 ......
