Yeah I realised how it sounded after Id posted. It was one of those night we had massive storms bout 2 months back. Id spent most of the night out and about being young and stupid, drifting, and carrying on etc. Was on my way home and was about to cross a floodway (bit of road crossing a creek that usually is covered by 6" of water if it rains fairly hard. Braked as I entered the water, and went to turn a slight right hander, and lost traction all the way, and ran into a tree. Sort sat there and tried to steer, then brake some more, and got no where and just thought, "this is gonna hurt". Fortunatly I didnt get any injuires from it, but yeah, my beautiful car! I'll take some more pics as I can and put them up, and try to get pics as I repair it, and as it goes through its re-spray etc. :(

Awesome job getting her back into sweet nick man, we're getting ready to head into winter here, and I havn't lost any weight in this blardy right foot of mine. Still having having a bit of fun with the new power at my disposal but pics like these are a definite helper. Good luck on the rest of the repair work mate.

Ok, a late update. I have my car back together, except for badges, and the interior, which is being recovered in leather, and should be back in the car by next weekend! I have an exhaust to go onto it as well. And hopefully there will be a cruise reasonably soon after that, as Id love to come on one, but have never had the oppurtunity yet! Will take some pics tomorrow once I have put the badges back on, and given it a detail at work.

Your getting leather hey. I'm thinking of doing the same, something other than the standard grey or mocha. How much did it cost? PM if you like. Thanks.
