Im Gutted! My Ke70 Corolla Has Been Crashed Into! Help Needed


Recommended Posts

Posted

Yes unfortunatly my KE has suffered a bit of damage!! :crybaby:

Its was sat im my driveway with half an engine as im doing the head gasket at the moment, where its been for the last month (long story)!

I get a call off my mum this morning...... "Your not gonna like this!"

The woman that lived opposite me apparently drove off her drive, hit a patch of ice, slid into the front of my car pushing it back 3 feet on the handbrake and through my garage door!!! Im not to sure how fast she was going but she seemed to get enough speed to do all this from only 15feet away!!?? :blink:

The front bumper is very bent, as is the lower front panel and the grill has a few small cracks in it! At the back the rear light is smashed, the bumper end cap is ripped in half and its put a very small dent in the quater panel! Oh and its pulled the garage door brackets off the wall and bent the door!!!

I really didnt need this after the Silvia getting written off last month and spending a few hundred pounds on the Corolla reciently!!! Im Gutted!! :crybaby:

Luckily Ive spoke to her tonight and she has agreed to pay for the damage herself and not go through the insurance! Ive said im going to keep costs down and try and use secondhand parts to sort it! At the end of the day I just want my car fixed the easiest way possable!!

This is where you guys come in :help:

Can anyone help me find the parts I need for my 1981 model KE70 Corolla??

I know some bits are hard to get, this is why im asking the people in the know!!

These are the parts I know I need at the moment............

Chrome front bumper (although my mate is gonna have a go at straightening it)

Bumper brackets (possably)

Rear N/S light cluster

Rear N/S bumper cap

Any help would be greatfully recieved :thumbsup:
