Rolled a Cruiser

they dont build em like this anymore

today i T boned a landcruiser at an intersection in my 200. needless to say the front of the 200 came off second best. about 5k damage to it is conservative (pics to come) and i somehow rolled an old trayback style landcruiser. did a full rotation and landed on its wheels and was still running fine. insane. luckliy just a side mirror and some scratches for him (i dont have insurance.)

luckily my datto will be back on the road soon. but the 200 will be undergoing some changes (hey while im at it right...)

oh and if anyone wants to buy some brand new adjustable sway bars for an S14 PM me ill be stripping some of the good stuff to pay for the cruiser (about a grand i reckon)

Apart from panel damage how bad is it? You were going to fit a body kit anyway weren't you?

err, snap?

Bad luck dude, but it could have been SOOO much worse.

What are the alterations planned for the front of the car now you've got a blank canvas, essentially?

I feel for you, bluey. I really do.

Fkc. That sucks. I always say this about cars. You can do soo many things to make them better and it can all get taken away in a crash. Or you can buy one fresh of a dealer lot and crash it on the way home. It has happened to people.

It looks really bad. I got into an accident the same way except it wasnt as bad and I still drive the car hit.

Since you need a hood anyway get an OEM spec carbon fiber one and lighten the car.

Did the airbags deploy or did you take them out? In my accident they didn't deploy because I had disabled them a whie back but UCP members told me not to but I'm glad I did. If they would of deployed I wouldnt of been able to drive it home and I was going to scrap the car.

Looks like your front mount is cactus, good to hear your OK, looks like you'll be off the road for a while. , On the up side the engine will be easy to get out, send it down to the boys down south here so the sr with have some real shazam

Get an insurance. Seriously. It's irresponsible to drive without it. Isn't it illegal over there ?

I'd sell it if there is any damage beyond panel damage...
