Poor car, that's awful :( Sorry to see that Jarrod, just glad you weren't hurt.

The only parts I need are big (console etc) so not worth posting. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

Faaaaaaaaaaark! Hope you don't get a crook neck from the bingle :(

And I hope the other car came off 2nd best!

Hopefully you can bounce back from this with an even better E-Series mate.

Damn thats a decent whack. I've been hit by a car in the rear that was doing about 50-60k so i'd hate to think how fast the car that hit you was going. Lucky that everyone is ok.

Weren't testing your 0-100 in reverse were you ? :P

Bad luck, looked like a nice car. EL ghia's are going for aroung 10k at dealers, i traded one last year only got $5000 for it, with AUII 17's on it and in great condition, so bargain them down. I think there's a 5litre EL Ghia for sale here, might be an EF actually.. good luck.

ahhh crap... that really sucks.

Such a nice car too... :(

Oh well. If its any consolation I am interested in some of the parts. When you decide what you are doing with it we shall speak about it further.

Good luck with the new E-Series.

Damn, that's really nasty mate. Sorry about the car, but good to hear you're all right. It must have been travelling fast to cause that much damage. I had a Hilux run up the back of me a couple of years ago, and all I got was a damaged bumper and a dint under a taillight. It obviously wasn't going as fast as the car that hit you. Good luck with finding a new car, and hope all goes well.

like i said to ya in the other thread mate, get yourself thoroughly checked out - neck, back etc.... im still getting neck and back pain from about 7 years ago when i stacked my XF


as for parts, i'll get in early - im after a console lid if yours is good.......
