Epick Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hey everyoneJust had a crash today, wheels locked and sent me into a wall. Front bumper is destroyed, radiator burst, license plate smashed, the front left wheel isn't turning and most of the plastics are shattered. Proper sad times.

AdamGill Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 You knocked any of your chassis legs back or they fine Looking again cross member looks fine so probably not how fast you hit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epick Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Not that fast, its just punctured the radiator and the front left wheel wont turn properly.. Don't know whether it's the strut arm, suspension or the hub. Cheers for replying, my back is aching like a hoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbee Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Doesn't look major, all bolt on bits so easy enough to fix. If the wheels not turning it maybe a damaged steering rack or tracking rod. you wont know till you've had a good poke aroundps: ot having abs can be a real bitch lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan S Jones Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I'd check local scrappies for parts too, hope you're back up and running soon Edited June 22, 2012 by Rowan S Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbee Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 You'll get a bumper easy mate, if you can't pick one up your biggest expense will be postage.painting shouldn't be an issue really due to red being quite an easy colour to match.
