:'( last night my steerin went and car pulled to one side threw me into a barrier blew out the tire all the wings gone nd my poor cars broken

Luckily i was only doing about 25 mph which meant that no one got hurt apart from the car , i hope the damage is pretty much superficial (wing innner and outter ) and a little bit of damage to the bonnet n grill.

think the cv joint or somethin is knackerd as i have tryed to moove it this morning and the wheel has a serious camber and is trying to peel the tyre off the rim

Good luck with the repairs (DIY or garage job?)

Awww dear. Hey I am sure it will be sorted in no time! Just give her lots of care and attention and she will be even better than before!

Sounds like a broken swivel pin, don't try to move it you'll do a lot more damage to your car and the road (which you are liable for). It needs recovering if the wheels don't work.

Sorry to hear this mate, glad you're OK. Got any pictures of the damage so we can see if it's going to be OK or not? Sadly an inner wing isn't superficial, depending on how badly damaged it is as it's part of the bulkhead.

sorry to hear that mate, hope its not to much trouble to fix

[miniallsort]

[beemerduck]

yeh ... bad news mate, hope its not too bad

[Tony1003]

Yeh i going to upload some pictures toinight i may try n do as much f the work as possible, but im no expert and i dont really no anyone who is

I havent moved it a kind man whos house itr was outside of has allowed me to place it on his drive til i can get it trailored , which is extremley kind of him ,

the inner win isnt bad the grill and bonnet are hardley touched its mainley the wing, the engine starts and runs fine and i am loosin no fluids so thats good news just hope the sub frames ok :'(

just to add the inner wing is only slightly dammaged where the vent is near the headlight so shouldnt be too bad

Having a crash at any speed is bad enough, scares the hell out of you. In a strange way it may reveal some other problems you didnt know about! But glad to see you are still alive and kicking. Good luck with the build.

[mulejones]

Hey, dont feel to bad. In september of last, i had a £1000+ paint job and new panels on my cooper, and then in december of last year driving like a prick, i wrote it off. So just remember there is allways some one worse off than yourself.

Hope its back on the road soon
