The thing that most aggrivates me is I have mates that drive like total morons constantly, and I try to set an example as a P plater by driving within the conditions and within my limits at all times and it only rubs salt in the wounds when the towie gets there and accuses you of hooning at rediculous speeds and jokes about needing to slip him an extra 50 so that he won't ring the cops.

Sorry to see that mate. S*** happens i spose and you were just unlucky this time, but personally i would've got that pole you hit and shoved it up the towies A****** and drove the car home, albeit carefully.

Alrighty, so now what I want to do is get the car to a suspension place first, get it driveable, then have the front fender damage repaired.

I've been told pedders.

But yeah, i'm going to need new rear suspension, and possibly some driveline components I'm after semi-cheap suspension, I don't have the money to get teins or something.

I would have to agree, I havent had the best time of things with respect to pedders either. They have incorrectly diagnosed several things on me now and cost me a packet as a result.

Thanks Mr Ft000, spotted those a couple of days back, I don't have the time to wait for them though, and then i'd still need to have the rears reconditioned. I'm already majorly running out of time, the bastard towing company are about to start charging me for storage of my car, and i'm afraid its already damaged, if not broken into.

There's teins on the front and koni or something on the back.

First of all I need the car drivable, and granville pedders is where i've been recommended Hopefully they'll just need to swap out the rear suspension and not do any other work, but they've been the only place i've called who are confident that they can fix the damage, no matter how bad it is. I've rang places like MRT but the responses i've gotten have been less then optimistic, one even suggested without seeing the car that it would be better just to cut my loses and have it written off. Not at all impressed.

I need this fixed ASAP, i've only got two more days of school to go (i took the day off today so i could organise a lot of this bullshit) and my HSC is quickly approaching. I'm not fussed if it doesn't look 100%, i'll worry about that later. It just needs to be driveable and back in my garage hopefully by the weekend at minimal expense. I'm pissed that together towing and storage is going to run near the 350dollar mark and no work has even been done yet. I'm also extremely anxious to get a look at the car, plus get the front (deflated) tyre off and repaired (if possible).

Pedders are happy to leave the car inside their premises up on a hoist until it's fixed, which is much better then it sitting out in the open in an unmanned car yard at seven hills.

Bucket if your around what's the go with the tyres and rims? I can have the money in your bank account by about 2oclock today as I need to go pay for the panel. Thanks for the offer mate, it is much appreciated! If you want to back out though its understandable, but your doing me a massive favour.

unique auto sports can supply you kyb's pretty quick... they also have a very good relationship with a pannel beater Graham Jenkins smash repair just down the road from them...

pedders i don't trust but if your desperate then go to them.

Yeah, it's a little late now, so i've gotta stick with my what i've chosen. If I did it all again i'd actually do it all myself... control arms I could have gotten off any jap rear half cut, the toy shop were willing to let them go at a "good price" if I was interested and apparently they're pretty simple to put on.

Actual suspension is undamaged, just the arms and supports.

Thanks for all the help so far. I'm off to australia's best soon to get some replacement rims + two more eagle f1's. If anyone knows of another store which sells BSA let me know!
