Got the car back, nope its fucked. Hit the k frame and the whole chassis is bent.

Anyway here it is in all its glory.

Still drives but not very good as the front wheel is just jammed up and flopping around. Sheered the tie rod end off and the k frame is crushed back making the wheel about 200mm further back.

Most of the electrics are dead, must be some torn wires in that inner guard. So I bypassed the ATM and shorted some relays and away it went lol.
Just added some cables to an external battery just to kick it over and let it run under its own alternator power.

Started to strip the car.


Got the wheel off with much fighting and banging. Pretty beat up in there.

spenty of good spare parts in that wreck!

I can see why your battery is no longer! lol!

[immortality]

Lucky there was no fire with the way that battery was squished.

Job well done.

[vlad01]

I'm spewing. That battery was unkillable until now. had it 7 years.

Power was lost within 10 or 15 sec to nothing. Was steaming a bit but stopped after few min.

I found I sheered 2 wires in the loom, fuel pump oil pressure bypass and oil light. Thats why my fuel pump fuse went.

lol, that aint right!

Not a whole heap of good bits on wreck but some that I will take.

gearbox, tail shaft, pedals, front door trims, brake calipers, pacemakers, boot carpet trims, boot lid, cruise control wiring,the new tail lights and NOS globe holders, some little bits of interior plastics. The rest is puss! lol

Will take the engine for analysis of my abuse and finally see what that horrific screech is on start up thats been there from day dot. I suspect oil pump.
