teh Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 If my day couldn't get any worse after dropping TWO meals on the floor at work and scraping the paint off a newish fiesta the other day, I manage to reverse into a random trailor that has been detached from its lorry. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/tehrules/10072008122.jpg So before it peed with rain again, we did this... http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/tehrules/10072008123.jpg] And this... http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/tehrules/10072008124.jpg I was quite lucky the window didn't go! Although through anger I did throw a few punches at a wall, so I dunno what came off worse, me or the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 best to get a new tailgate matey, that filler will crack in no time! How much do you reckon one of them would cost? Silverlake calls me. I reckon if we do a good enough job sanding, priming and painting it should be alright because there isn't anyway we could bang that out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry-334 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 biggest problem with repairing that, would be having to take the screen out. check the scrappies, if anyone's got a gate in that colour, job done!(might even find one with a spoiler!)
