Well, what a way to start the day, went to work parked my car out the front, 5 min later i get called up to the office with some towtruck driver saying there is a little prob with my car. Turns out his handbreak doesn't work (or the dumass just forgot to use it) and the truck rolled into my car.
The boot is kicked across prolly 20-25mm, and because the car slid into a gutter, the diff as a broken panhard rod and watt linkage stuff, and the diff is across 18mm. But there is a bit of lol to it. The truck was a rival panel beaters tilttray, and it happend out the front of the panel shop i work at.      |

Sucks to hear of the damage.
Hopefully the tilt tray driver's insurance will pay you out, and you can fix it yourself after hours. The panels don't look too bad, its getting the diff back in the right place thats most important.

Think on the good side, Excellent excuse to chuck a nice bodykit on it. Well thats what I told the Mrs anyway

Your insured full comp? Most of the time they will pay out the car if the damage is too much compared to the value of the car.
