Today I ****ted my Monaro

[Yanayaya]

I've had better days, I took the Monaro to Speedfest here in Aberdeen and took part in the pursuits. Sadly on the final corner skid on some sort of spillage and just lost control of the car completly. I had a hay bail side on.











I've removed the front wing and the sideskirt and thankfully everything is untouched and straight, the panels to the brunt of the hit. The rear quarter needs an assessment by the bodyshop to see if it's repairable.





I have manged to find front a wing and other bits and bobs on monkfish website but I need a door, does anyone know where I can get a new door or perhaps one second hand?

Gutted for you. Not long finished the graphics.

Raving is probably going to be your best shout forgetting second hand bits.

I need some work on mine. Went down a road the other day. Roadworks going on, exposed man hole cover, crunched the front bumper. Cracked along the front. But no major damaged. Friend of mine works in a body shop and basically told me what to do for most of the prep and how to repair the crack. Thankfully it is repairable. So that's my job in a few weeks.

The wing and door damage looks like an an easy repair, and I'm sure the parts (second hand) will be available.
The rear quarter panel will be a challenge! hopefully a good body shop can sort it without having to replace it.
I know there is always a high risk of damage when you take part in any motor sport, but it is bloody awful to see never mind experience.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you can save your car.

I have a tail light which is in better condition than yours. It does have a hairline crack by the bottom light but its not noticeable until someone points it out. Might be worth while for you until you want to stump up £350 for a new one

sad to see this, glad Front end isn't too bad. from the pics i would (unfortunately) say that the rear 1/4 is not really repairable as its too indented in too many large areas and have lost both swage lines to work to

hope you sort the best way possible

Gutted for you mate, I am hopeful you will get it all sorted.

I'd see how much of that rear quarter will pop out, once it has been assessed. IMHO the only difficult piece will be just below the window.

Just go easy with the hammer when you're tapping it straight.

Just an update for everyone. A got a door from a chap called Brett who thankfully had one in silver too. I ordered a light from Vauxhall but they can't get the VXR light they can only get the CV8 red lens one so I've gotten one from Brett again.

The new wing was bought from Vauxhall and is now on the car. I paid a visit to the bodyshop today and they have said that the quarter popped back nicely and in the manner they wanted (which I think means that it didn't give them any stress). I've been over to see the car and it's looking really good indeed I'm actually impressed at how well it's come out. I'm just awaiting the paint job and then I'll get some pictures up.

I couldn't get a more "lucky" bump if I tried however, it missed the sills, pillar, chassis itself, everything.

Serious lessons learned from my perspective.
