Haha it's worth a shot. ;)
What's wrong with it? :O

Broken back wheel and maybe a swing arm bent. Should know more next Wed when the car arrives from Pickles.

Doesn't a bent swing also bend the subframe?

Can do, if so I'll chop it out and weld in a new bit. Most likely the swing arm and cradle will be bent - maybe the back wheel/hub. I have a complete rear end on the way and a rear door.

Well well, had the car two weeks and it gets a hit from a white car in the car park. Scraped the right side rear door wheel arch and mag wheel. Left white paint on the car.

Hope it will polish out.

The car was only parked in two places yesterday. But the white car ar the REPAT Hospital was still there when we left at 11am. So between 12 and 6 today spome clown in a white car scraped our nice shiny purple car - scum bag! **** head. Nope did not leave a name/phone number.

Here are some photos - looks a little better in daylight. Just a shallow dent in the door.

The S/C Green VY is back on 4 wheels and off to the suspension place tomorrow to make sure all is OK.

Then paint for the LHS rear dog leg and pulley change over.

Some photos of the green VY repairs. Note the Holden special tool diff installing device (cut down milk crate)

The car went to the suspention place yesterday and passed the wheel alignment test. All looks good and car drives well. Now for the paint and swap door glass.
