Post subject:  It. Never. Ends. ... ...
Following the completed repairs of Betty from her 'tip over' (http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic ... highlight=) was a d*ckhead who side swiped her on saturday.

and then he hit the moke - Spiro.

He tried to split Spiro and Betty up, and collected both of cars at the same time.
So he swiped my front left guard, (opposite side where she was repaired) then looks backs, and smashes into the Rear left of the Moke, and comes to a sudden halt, and Bettys hits the tow bar.

I think i'm in a stream of bad luck.

Mike Byron panel beated her. and I helped him (a little)
Thank you Mike, for working on her in the heat. I saw your sweat dripping on Jim's driveway
:lol:

Thanks to those who went to the Garage day and gave moral support and a helping hand/s. Also Jim and scott, Thanks SO much for your grille, that is very very generous of you, and I am very grateful :D

Josh finally decides to lend a helping hand, rather than moral support :P

putting the falres back on was hard work, as it would not sit flush

The idea of these buggers came to mind :idea:

And the help of fluro green gaffa tape. Amazing what zip ties and tape can hold :lol: Thanks for the ties duc.

"Not again!" Suppose you already said that too.

Thanks for the series of photographs -

yes it was a bit hot banging away with the single claw hammer and dolly - with some flat hammers, shrinking hammer and oxy, it could have come out a better but at least the repaired crumpled guard wasn't going shred a tyre when we finished. Nor was a enthusiastic policeperson going to write a defect.

Emm's hands show she got in and did the work - I just did a bit of banging.

yeah, I was very angry at the time, but i figure there is no point having a cry about it anymore.
I'm just, over it.
She'll get fixed 8)

And yes jbeenz, i got out of the car and yelled at him "WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING MAN" :lol:
and he was going to retaliate but josh and bez stepped out of the spiro infront, so i think he thought.. 1 vs 3 wasnt going to work


Hey willy, I'd rather be driving a banged up mini than a crappy verada
