:eclipsee_ Well everyone I thought i'd just let you share in my joy of finally getting my car back from the smash repairers after 5 long weeks.They ended up doing a really good job on it, but not without it's dramas,like painting it in the wrong paint and then having to redo it.
 But they did fill the torneau loop hole on the tub which makes for a whole lot neater job.And as they say alls well that ends well.Heres some pics for you all to see.       |

Did the 'beaters do a good job? Any give-away signs of the prior damage? How are the panel alignments? If its all good, you should let us know who did the repairs.

Glad to see you got your baby back again. I was looking through the dsalvage auctions at Pickles and noticed an almost identical ute there. Then I remembered the thread you started when it happened, and wondered if it was the same ute.

Thanks for all the compliments.It's been great having it back,so much so that I did 1200k's over easter and couldn't get the smile off my face.What a change to the Nissan Bluebird i'd been driving around for the 5 weeks.My wife thinks I have a definite problem.I say if that's a problem, I can live with it!
