Buttercup vs Kangaroo... beware of bushrats.
My almost perfect bus is no longer almost perfect anymore after a bushrat appeared all of a sudden three feet in front of me at about midnight last
night. :cry:
Th panel damage is worse than the photos give it credit for... gonna be a mongrel of a job fto fix that one. The upshot is at least the undercarriage
survived.
Needless to say tho the roo didnt come off too good either... i went back after checking the bus and it had a broken leg, and was dead by this
morning.
It was a small and relatively young one and was only hit at around 40k's on a country road... had it been an adult at 80 or 90k's on a highway then
the results could be disastous. :duh
So watch out for em guys... :jesus:

Bugger!
A difficult position to get straight again with all those factory creases in that area.
On the positive side though - if you had been driving a more modern Jap/Korean/etc car it would have been far worse - you may have even been up for
the cost of new air bags too!
Keep us up to date with the repairs
Good Luck

CHeers guys...yeh... If I were driving a modern jap car chances are I'd be posting this with a large rat down my throat :duh
The big problem is the fact that yep, its in the worst possible place due to the creases that ARE supposed to be there, and allso being where it is,
it will be very dificult to get lverage where its needed to push it out, or enough of a swing on a mallet to beat it out.

If you want it fixed properly, take it to Steve Mitchell panel beating, in browns road for a quote, he is very good, and very reasonable with his
prices.

Cheers Lord Jon!
Yeh dad hammered it out quite a bit without my consent .... so it
looks far better now, but still needs finishing off, which I will probably leave in Steve's capable hands. :up:
I was quoted $480 originally to have it repaired properly and have the color matched and the dmaged area repainted, which seems fairly reasonable. But
alas dad got too it before 480 bucks got to me hehehehe
