MY SR TURBO, DEAD!

[ross]

ok heres the story, engine mount snapped on sunday night, engine dropped onto the driveshafts, and because of my bumper and FMIC being in the way, the only way i could tow it was off the slam panel (sounds stupid i know) so i did, got home fine, no damage!

so thursday comes, so does my engine mount, so i need to tow it somewhere with ramps, friends dads' garage, perfect!! my mate comes up in his dads 17.TD Cavalier to tow me, hooked in round slam panel once again, off we go.....

about a mile down the road, my mate pull off a little to quick and this happens

I CRIED!

never mind, starlet is going to change big time now, after i get a new headlight, indicator, slam panel, inner wing, repair the two front arches and get a new bumper ;)

but she will look TOTALLY different next time you see her

[Idrees]

OH my god i think ive just cried more than you mate ;)

But as they say, when you bump a car its an easy path to modify it even more.

Wish you the best of luck with sorting her out, can't wait to see it done!

[Nanglebadger]
