Quote from: grinder;565358Bloody hell pete - thats impressively kind - this is what i love about my fellow FC owners .. never like to see a FC owner stuck

hats off to you good buddy

Cheers but its a two way process and I am sure if I was ever in need of something then someone somewhere will help out. A bit of the old Christmas Spirit does wonders.

Well I\'ve now got the front wing and the bumper off. Well my mate Ash did most of it whilst I was at work (Cheers Ash). Anyway it looks like the damage is something we can fix so thats good news. Gonna need the bumper bar and a couple of other plates off my other car as well as the headlight, indicator FTP lenses etc. So pretty much as I expected. I\'m just glad there is no structural damage. Here are some pic\'s for you to have a look at.

ekk - looks worse now !!

but an ideal time to get the engine bay nice and clean and get some waxoyl in the inner arches etc...

TiddlesRX7 · December 21, 2008, 01:03:10 PM

Yeah I know. I had it all done last year with wax oil and had it booked in again last week for another coat. Sadly It hasn\'t got done now!

TiddlesRX7 · December 21, 2008, 09:11:14 PM

It must have the bloody thing spun on me!
Still you can\'t knock a 14.1 quarter mile with the plug leads the wrong way round now can ya! I don\'t know anyone else that can say that!

Well just to update this a little. Me and Ash have been doing bits here and there to get me back on the road again. We have all the bits to fix my car and have removed all the damaged parts. Now its just a case of bolting the new bits back on and making sure everything still lines up correctly. Hopefully I will be back on the road by the end of the week/early next week. It all depends on how much spare time I can get to spend on the car. Then its gonna be a set of tyres all round me think

TiddlesRX7 · January 03, 2009, 07:19:47 PM

So we managed to get the car almost fully back together today. Got the wings back on. ( I changed the drivers side one too as the original one was starting to bubble a bit with rust). Got both lights in, bumper bar on and then the bumper. Now its just a case of making sure it all lines up as it should. It looks ok so this shouldn\'t be a problem. All that is left is to drill out some of the bolts underneath that snapped when I took them off. Then I can finish bolting the underside of the car. Anyway pic\'s say a thousand words.
BIG THANKS TO ASH FOR HELPING ME OUT WITH THIS AND LETTING ME USE HIS DIVEWAY.
