My bosses son took this for a drunken spin last year, on their land so no law enforcement involved but still not clever. Not so irresistable Landy met the immovable tree, smashed the wing obviously, but harder to see in the pictures is the left wheel got shunted back about 5".
Amazingly it still drives, pulled it out of the field it had been left in for a year, nasty nasty noises on near full lock.

So the front axle has traveled backwards on the left side 5".. so the prop has moved back maybe 2" - this has got to have damaged the T-box and/or the G-box? Or would there be enough movement in the UJs on the prop to absorb the rearward movement?
Passenger side (LHD) front radius arm has been torn from it's rear mounting and twisted. Got access to a 20ton press, can this be safely re-bent with heat or go for 2nd hand 'new' one?

Does not make horrible, grindy transmission noises.

Advice, new boxes? new front axle? *New = 2ndhand or recon.
Definite - new UJs, suspension mounts, shocks and springs, turret mounts + turret rings, wing, front bumper.
YRM bulkhead pieces and new passenger footwell (not part of the crash damage.)

Chassis is mint, looks powdercoated under the grime, hoping the broken bits took the impact and not the chassis but hard to tell until the running gear is off - or can I just measure each side and compare, short plumb-lines off each end and compare any difference?

Happy to do straight swap-outs of broken stuff but cant do internal complicated stuff.

Any advice is very appreciated :)

Has the rear of the prop moved, or has it slid in the slider?
Gearbox should be ok, T/B would have taken the brunt of it, but theyre pretty hardy.
Id measure the diagonals of the chassis legs to see if its twisted.
Obviously the shocker is bent, would have thought either the panhard rod, or its chassis mounting must have bent.
axle id inspect but wuld have thought it would be fine.

Ahhhh.. good-o.

Will check diagnols, that's a good idea if I can get accurate measure on them.
Is the panhard forward of the wheel or sitting behind it - anti-roll bar possibly? It doesn't seem bent, should it be laser straight?

Good enuff on the boxes then, wont touch them for now as.

This site is an amazing resource, will try not to fire in too many stuuupid questions!
