This was my daily driver for the last 6 months, I found it under a tree with lots of rego on it and a large dent in the front guard.

I spent a bit of time freshining everything up reparing the damage to the front and I have been driving it ever since with out a problem at all, it was even nice to drive.

Until today, I drove it to Sydney and on my way home in Wollongong I was rammed from behind while I was sitting at a red light, and pushed into the car in front, was a hard hit, passenger seat came out of its runners, radio face flew off, stuff every where, I now have a stiff neck, my head almost touched the back seat and then the windscreen!,

Even with all this damage It still got me home after I adjusted the accelerator cable, because the engine and gearbox are now sitting a few inches further forward.

fair credit to the car that it got you home like that. definitely deserves some nice TLC from the panelshop, and maybe treat it to a couple of extra bits n pieces as a reward for its good work😉
