Hey guys so I've hurt my beloved truck with a fronted impact to the left side of the front and it's pushed one side of the body back abit pushing the left front body lift bolt on a tilt and had moved the left front guard back so the passager body only opens 1/2 way with out bending the front panel, is there any panel beaters or anyone that knows of anyone that loves toyota and wants to help out a fellow toyota driver to get back out there having fun for a good price it's a 1st gen surf btw

Thanks guys really want it back on the road and the dirt soon as

Thanks ben

if you haven't bent the chassis or the body shell all the front clip is easy bolt on replaceable shit, try and stay away from Chinese replacement panels they aren't a very good fit, find someone wrecking a hilux and buy all the panels and bits you need off them you could fix it up your self for very little :D then go look up barley insurance on google and get yourself an off road insurance policy for next time :D

The chassis isn't bent but the shell at the front is abit pushed in could can pulled put easyly by someone that knows what points to pull from, that's why I wanted to see if anyone with knowlage could help me out, plus I got a dent in the side from 4wdong the time before this front happed which isn't just a replaceable panel so needs some panel beating work and yes I think I will get off-road insurance
