Hi Ya all,

Well my temporary runabout that i use while the surf is getting fixed just sustained a nudge by a concrete pillar in an car park building dam it! Being a little toyota starlet the nudge kinda took the whole guard out.

What I want to know is where would be the best place to get a guard from and get painted? I don't normmmmmmaally dent things this bad ie the guard is absolutely farked :evil:

Any suggestions?

btw im not in the mood for crap off topic smart ass replies to be posted in here.

Mike

Depends what shape starlet.

There used to be a guy over by the old show grounds that had all that type of stuff and was reasonable to work with - I got a set of Toyota Echo seat from him for a Morris Minor van project - but I see he's gone.

Not sure if its him shifted or another guy but there is a toyota car wrecker on Buchanans Road / Racecourse Road about where they meet Waterloo Road but on the other side - also seems reasonable to work with but have never bought any thing from him.

If its a RWD starlet try Dead Cars he might have something.

There is always Ace Toyota - not so cheap or easy sometimes, seems to depend who you get - but they have never had the bits I'm after...

Talk to Darren... the painter from PQ - he's still keen to do repair work I think... he's a rep for fortec? paints now but lives out near me somewhere - I see him quite a bit around here...

Or cut it down and truggy it

I have a spare transfer case here

oh yea one more thing, 85 front wheel drive makes it the ep70 i think, but they came out with two different gards one had indicator at rear of gard, and newer ones (87 and on) had them at the front. But i was pretty sure the black and silver ones were the newer ones with indicator at the front??? so which one is it? and yea pics!!! :lol:

Just had a look. there is an indicator just in front of the wheel arch, a small one. none in the very front (thats the park light), it has indicators in the bumpers as well.

pics of the damage?? perhaps when i get home and if the camera has batteries :cry:

A momentary loss of concentration can cause so much damage/time and money. I guess if we were all wicked drivers panel beaters and the likes would be out of business.
