Yea mate your right the towies take it to the nearest of their mates workshops and they'll charge you the price of staying in a top notch hotel to keep your car there. then also pressure you to have the repair done there. I said gtfo when they gave me the release bill, talked to shannons and I paid it and they fixed me up, shannons are good it's some of the towies that stuff ya around.

Glad you're ok and can talk about it.
Hope the insurance works out and they do the right thing by you. (obviously the towies didn't)

Your work with BBQ-202 has been an inspiration to others, me & mine included.
Look forward to your next build & understand the grief that goes with losing something you've worked so hard on.

The only up side to the sad demise of BBQ202 is you walked away and live to tell the story, others have been less fortunate than us when they stuffed up. Cars can be rebuilt/replaced. You will always have the photos and memories.
Once the motivation returns use what you have learned to make the next one even better. Best of luck.

Interesting(?) to see how the old girl deformed but protected you. Doesn't help in making you feel any better, but that could've ended up SOOOO much worse.
Glad your OK.

Usually with a hit like that the chassis would go apeshit and roof/doorgaps would all be shot.
Go the torana I say

Thanks for the memories.
All the best with whatever you decide to do.
I think we'd all love to see her back on the road but we're not the ones who have to do the work.

Looking at the pics, i recon it could benefit from a wave of the Dirtbag magic wand, Heaths that is, i think this one ^ is a little too far gone for that.

How did you fair after this crash as thats a huge hit.Damage looks similar to my gold LX i had a near head on collision with a Nissan Bluebird. It buckled the shell & the engine got pushed through the firewall but somehow the windscreen stayed intact. Be interested to see if the engine moved back on BBQ 202.

Seriously, if we can find a way to get them down to you - all yours.
