alright guys, had a bit of an accident on saturday evening, was driving along a road near my house and the back tried to shoot past me on a corner, i over corrected and ended up steering onto the verge on the other side, through some bushes, nose dived into the road and then flipped my 90 onto its side.
Luckily i was pretty much unhurt, just a couple of scratches and even more luckily there was nobody else in the car/no other cars involved. my boss came up with his defender and trailer and winched it back onto its wheels.
i then drove it onto the trailer. police said it looked like the top gear hilux as it was being driven up the ramp!
Anyway Ive had a look at it with my mate whos a mechanic, and although the bodywork is pretty shagged he reckons the chassis is straight so altho its never gona look pretty, i mite be able to get it on the road again.
I only really need to get it on the road for a few months whilst i save up for my next 90!!! after that it can be resigned to my cousins farm or similar.
Fortunately i still have a truckcab roof courtesy of trewy, so the roof isnt an issue. i will straighten out the bumper and bullbar, and straighten out the smashed wings front and back.
However, i desperately need a windscreen AND windscreen frame. I also need a pair of front radius arms as the passenger side one is slightly bent. both steering rods are bent but i should be able to straighten them out, or if not replace them.
so if anybody has any of these bits or know where i could get them, please let me know!
cheers
