My mates mum didn't see my car in her Pajero and backed into it 
One stuffed guard and bent next to fuel filler
Any panel beaters on here? What do you think?
man that has gotta suck. least there wasnt more damage.. lucky i guess.
Yeh I'm just more pissed that there is always somthing going wrong with my car.
Simon
haha seems to be the case.. bugger ey.
The guard may be able to be beaten but it looks like it has been hit before or has rust issues as in the last photo there appears to be a chunk of
body filler. It may be easier to buy a replacement guard and have it resprayed and bolt it striaght on. If it was a "clean" hit and hasn't
creased the inner guard (look in the photos of my accident to see what I mean) it should be an easy task. The fuel filler area looks creased so it
may be a bit harder but possible none the less. Good luck.

Yeh was thinking somthing along those lines. Do you reckon buy used guard or are new ones cheap?
Simon
That does suck??? I think new gaurds are cheap and look at the bright side,a new gaurd will be black
cheers shane.
Thats hardly a bright side but thanks 
Simon
have a go at bashing out the gaurd
u got nothing to lose
i repaired one bout that bad off my first bug i wrote off it shouldnt be to hard
cos those new gaurds u get u only have lean on them and they crumple
like paper compared to good german gaurds
Yeh but lke Adam said, it is full of bog so not really sure if I shuld try repair or look for replacement.
Simon
oh yeah look for another but like i said whats to lose by having a bash at it
its the usual case theyre everywhere till u need one
leave the guard on.
you may need to put a hole in the guard and use some chain etc thought the hole to pull the front panel near the fuel filler out.
Most panel shops can do this for you also on a rack.
Then you can just replace the guard.
2nd what Bugboy said.
Once the fuel filler bit is repaired, have a crack at bangin the guard into shape.
You got nothing to loose and it'll be good practice on something that may or may not be of any use.
Also, you at least have a guard on the car that matches the paint work until you can find a suitable replacement.
Thats a bit of hard luck, but every time you have someone run into you or reverse into you they always say "sorry didn't see you" i say how the f%&# could you not see me i got that much factory chrome on it you should of been well aware of it. 4wd's get em off the street and out in the mud and dirt where they were designed to be not just to go shopping.
yes its hard sometimes to resist the urge to slaugher all soccer mums in 4wds that think they require both lanes of round abouts so they dont have to slow down to the speed limit
Yeh its amazing how the dad reversed out of the driveway in his ute without hitting me right before the mum tried
Simon
so your mates got one of those mums who dont know how to drive her 4WD shopping trolley 
Lucky it was your car behind her and not you.
Pfft I think I would have rather been behind it. I would have only been knocked over at that speed, plus, im tough
Simon
Simon, get some of your school mates togather for a weekend project and turn the Pajero into a Barbeque!
Haha yeah or a Queen size bed.
Simon
Well got quote around $400 just for the crease near fuel filler!
Does that sound about right or am I being had?

WOOO!
Picked her up at lunch today looking good as new. Cheers mactaylor for the near perfect guard! Came up to around $900 worth of work, paint etc, Thank
god it wasnt my fault
While it was sitting in my garage I was able to make a few upgrades to the sound system with the knowledge and guidance of Joel 
I will admit that its pretty much a 100% of 1 of his old setups
Whole setup cost me around $200 (600w alpine amp, wood for sub box, two 10inch Power Acoustik Subs, wiring kit, carpet and wood for speaker shelf) so
I'm pretty happy with that
Heres to happy motoring before my next problem
