You can kinda make out in the grass where i came off ... backwards.



the drivers side sill is bent and was stopping the drivers door shutting, the rear quateris all smashed and the arch, rear door on the passenger side doesnt line up and lots of scratches as it was hawthorn hedge and metal fencing. No idea of the damage underneath the car but it was quite a bank I hit before going in the ditch. Yeah Shaun couldnt belive the lorry driver just drove off. w@nker.

Well not to be morbid but get some more pics of it now it's out...  Everything can be fixed, its now about how much you want it to be and is it worth it.  you've seen what mine went through!

Although its wrong, it was in the truck drivers best interest to keep going.  Did he even know what he had done?

Cant thank my girlfriends dad enough. Absolute legend. He had a look at it yesterday in his mot station and did the following, drivers door and offside rear door are now aligned and hung properly, all 4 tyres have been removed sealed and re-seated, luckily no damage to the wheels, the arb had moved slightly to one side so that's been loosened off moved over to the correct place and tightened up again, fixed the front bumper back on (ripped off getting it off the tow truck) tracking done and wheels balanced. So she is back on the road! He is a really strict mot tester and his daughter will be in the car so I guess he was the best person to look over it and make sure it was safe to drive :)

Next on the list is to find a rear quater panel and he said he will fit and paint it in his body shop :afro: h wouldn't accept and money for it so a box of cigars and a bottle of whiskey will have to do :lol:
