That sucks - at least the bonnet bar survived so the repairs shouldn't cost too much!

You could always upgrade it to the kustom front version that Grace built, though I'm not a real fan of that one either.

:esurprised: ouch atleast mine will be somewhat repaired tomorrow, that looks like a big job, lucky mine was just a guard, grill, stone tray, bumper
and some nick naks and even luckier i had most of the parts and a phone call secured the hardest part to get a guard and it was local
i would have just put mine through insurance but i'm off to Alice Springs in it leaving Sunday morning so considering it happened mid day yesterday if i went through insurance no chance it would be repaired in time

i hit an armco guard rail, was on a road that i thought was another road 100kph and up pops a sign 90 degree bend 15kph :esurprised: mind you this sign is at most about 50 meters from the bend, brakes locked but didn't stop :thumbsdown: on the plus side lucky there wasn't a car coming the other way because i would have T boned them or they T boned me, the fella that stopped and helped me pull the guard off the tyre so i could drive home said don't feel to silly it happens about once a week they've been trying to get council to reduce the speed limit or put better warning signs for the curve

Nomination for the hard luck award at the centrenats at the least Mick. As others said the boney bar being intact is a lucky thing. At least it is the slightly less rare driver side guard that came a cropper, and not the actual driver.....

Have a good one mate, we went a few years ago and a mob of my mates are also heading off tomorrow morning.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
