 Re: Tyrie
yeh I was pretty lucky, he bounced off the bonnet, missed the windscreen and dented the roof on the way over. Unfortunately the radiator support was pushed back a centimetre or two, and the holes where the bumper bolts distorted so the bumper sits further in on the right.

I pulled the panels off and spent about an hour tapping with a hammer and I think I've got it all straightened, I might get away with only needing a new bonnet and bonnet hinges (bent). The guard I will try to save as its had a lot of work around the arches.

Cheers for the offer datsun_guy, where abouts are you?

 Re: Tyrie
Most unfortunate.....but like it was said before, could had been much worse.

Might be easier to get used panels/hoods than fixing it or taking the car to the beaters.
Its is a cool car, make sure you bring it back to its glory.
Nice steel wheels, I like the look of steel wheels. Look like 15's.....perhaps 14's.

 Re: Tyrie
I saw it... about three tenths of a second before I hit it. Sure scared the #### outta me, a "I know whats about to happen, I dont want it to happen but theres jack #### I can do about it" feeling.

It will be back to its former (lack of) glory. Might even change the headgasket while its off the road.

 Re: Tyrie
Good to know you are already working on the restoration. Good time to make engine repairs too.
Those wheels look good, 15X8 rear....got a love the 120Ys....how many cars can hold a 15X8 so subtlely. Very cool.

About the Kangoroo...was it one of the large ones?? the red Kangoroo???

I have seen them boxing in circuses.....you better watch out....they might come after you....

It was an eastern grey kangaroo, but by no means a small one.

datsun_guy, the price is right, but I'd rather not drive that far if I can avoid it, so I'll be looking locally first. Thanks anyway
