    So yeah, doing 110 down a deserted highway in qld. was getting tiered but had 30 km's or so to go so decided to push on, closed my eyes and came to corner, and did this.

    My wife came home from a trip once and informed me that the ripples they stick to the side of the bigger straight roads in Vic work good. Since they work her up twice on the way home. I wasn't impressed. Not only does she know plenty of people that have been in big stacks from falling asleep she should have at least stoped after the first time

    Mate it is impossible for even an "expert" panelbeater to tell from those pics if your car is repairable. You'll need a qualified person to have a thorough inspection and see whether there is further damage to sub frame, twisted chassis etc. If I were you I'd get someone like that to have a look, because no one on here can tell you an honest yes or no just by viewing a couple of pics.

    Yeah, from that first one the strut tower looks OK, but there's probably much more damage behind the wheel. The photo's didn't really give much to go on.

    havnt got much of a choice, im going to get someone to look at it, and see if they casn find anything i have missed. get them to wirte it down and then decide if tis going to be owrth it me fixing it, ( im not to bad at swinging spanners) or just have them do it.
