A who and a what!!

he metal is about 8mm thick

nice one dude, im no expert but have to agree that looks like good welding, what plans you got for her then?

yep, slammed, painted, enjoyment all round!!

the shocks will not cause too much stress

you need them bits still? i got some

they absorb shock ......if they were to bottom out I would agree ......don't get me wrong you are 100 precent right ...but I don't think they will cause a problem, a radii would be a better design tho

When he drops the beam out we are going to radius them, as they are not that pleasing to the eye anyway.

Just been told by Joker67b that the landlord had driven into the front of my car with a tractor!!

Just going to look at the damage!!

I tried so hard to save that front panel!!

gutted for ya mate hope all is well!! bloomin cyder drinkin' farmers!

Gutted!!

I hoped joker67 way pulling my leg, but sadly not!! All my hard work at the weekend has been wasted!!

I got there to find that the froint panel I so carefully drilled out to save was like this:



The nice repair to the inner wheel well was like this:




and the inner wing front was like this!




The near side that Ihadnt started was looking like this!!


It's going to take me ages to get back where I was!! I felt sick when I saw it.

omg!

Put some cones or something round the cars!

I shouldnt have to!! we rent the unit, we were given the space to work in, he hasnt even given me a call to tell me about the damage!! I know acidents will happen, but Im just a bit pissed off right now!!

Not good mate, recon you can salvage most of it though!!!

Luckily you didn't have my bonnet on it

Yeah!! lol I wish my bonnet was, it doesnt fit anyway!! It might have been an advantage!! lol I could have tried to get him to cough up for another one!!.

luckly, joker was a very good panel beater and thinks he can get most of it back out!! I just feel like Im banging my head against a brick wall. I was so proud of what I did last weekend, now I have to start again!!
