Thread: An offer was made to me

Would love that late model rim if available?

Well, that was an adventure...

My brother in law has a mate who owned a beaut trailer that we used to get the Series3. Loaded it up no worries. We leave and approaching the first T intersection and I'm thinking "Woo up a bit.." Anyway, the brother in law, who is driving, has to put the brakes on pretty hard and CRASH. The LR has moved forward on the trailer and gone over the front and hooked itself up on the pillar. Woops. He forgot to tie it down from behind...
Back to the bloke I got it from and he helps us get it sorted.
Damage= Bent steering parts, ding in the chassis and I think broken steering box or relay. Fortunate to get away without a frigged radiator. It didn't want to steer at all and when I turned the steering wheel there was a bang from somewhere. When I looked through all the parts in the tub- there were all the bits to do repairs.
Arse.




Worst spring pack I've ever seen.


How well can a crack here be reapired?

All fixable itd take me about an hour with the mig to do the suspension bracket properly bout 10 minutes to dodge it.

i kinda feel you pian....when i picked mine up we couldnt get it started so we tried winding it up in low range onto the trailer, only got half way up so the bro in law tried backing it up as i wound the starter, only to be slightly of line and i started destroying the side skirt under the passangers door. it was being caught up on the side rasil of the trailer where the indicators were sitting. so after that i wound it back off and the front left wheel slips off the ramp and the bumper is then stuck on same bit of indictaor side rail of trailer all hung up...then when i finally got it off there and got it home i found the front shock hanger had broken off as well......just took the skirts off and have a replacement shock hanger ready to go on...but its not fun when things like this happen hey.
