Firstly look away if your are week of stomach.





I need the best crash repairer in Adelaide, not someone who will just do a superficial job. I want my baby back as close to 100% as possible.

Please help.

And I'm deeply sorry for what i have done to one of our beautiful ladies.

For the specific repairer choice, I can't offer any help, but for that damage, this is what you need:

I've used Keswick Crash on South Rd for some minor rear bumper damage on my S and they did a good job. Not cheap though.

argh!! ouch!!! dang !!! your car was looking sooo nice too... glad you are ok though.

That looks like a write off to me, I have seen less damaged S2ks written off. Were you not insured?

And if it's not insured, part it out to recover a large % of what you need......

Cut & shut, cut straight through the door sill and floor pan + rear end + welder + bog + undercoat + paint = finished for under $8K with replacement (2nd hand) OEM subframe / control arms etc.

Insured but on disq license, yes I'm in deep s**t with the law.
all I care about though is getting this fixed.
It's not as bad as it looks from what I can tell.
Damage as I can see:
Rear driver quarter
rear bumper
tail light
sub frame
Lower suspension brace(?)

Boot lid, roof mechanism, shock, spring, brake, even the wheel are all ok.
There is a lot of paint damage on the rest of the car, but it was due a respray anyway.

I have no idea how no front end damage was done, considering It went up the gutter forward.

And I had a look at that link (cheers s2kadrenalin), but doesn't the rear quarter run all the way under the door? That chopped rear ended at the door.

Lastly I'll get her up on the jack stands tomorrow, and pull the damaged panels off so I can get a better look. I'll post some more pics asap

Do your doors open and close smoothly?

The damage looks like something fierce and the chassis could be slightly bent

Doors open and close fine, and the roof works.
Got it home from the tow company today, but I've been working all day more pics Tomorrow.

I'm going to move this post to the international forums, to see what the rest of the community thinks.
I don't know how to move a post so I'll just start a new one.
