matt240K Posted May 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2009 Hi guys.I did something really silly to my K, and now I need to fix it. does anyone have 2 rear guards for a coupe? doesn't matter if they're rusty. preferably in SE Qld, but I'll freight them if I need to. A whole car or shell would be OK too. (actually preferable, because I need the bar with the shock mounts and the rear diff mounts as well. any help greatly appreciated. cheers,Matt.

240K&Beyond Posted May 11, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2009 I must ask, what did you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt240K Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted May 11, 2009 Took a jump at about 140kmh. when we landed, it just turned right. bounced off an embankment, then slid sideways into the poles of a cattle grid. Still don't know if something broke, but whatever happened, it happened fast. best ride in the park for about 100 metres. And quite a lot of damage as you might imagine.

matt240K Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) here's where we went in: there's where we came back out.... here's the cattle grid I tried to get it through..... failed....:(see where the pole ended up.... and here's where we ended up. perhaps if I pick up enough pieces I can build a K from it. (that used to be a rear disc. So if anyone has some rear quarters, i promise to look after them better than this. :stupid: Edited May 13, 2009 by matt240K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Camouflage Posted May 13, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 13, 2009 I emailed them yesterday about rust repair panels. It sounds like they dont have a car to make copies off though, so I'm not sure how accurate replacement parts would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440k Posted May 13, 2009 Share #10 Posted May 13, 2009 well, its cheap, NOW. :tapemouth Really? Are the MCA bits salvageable?DING!!! :bulb: I've just worked out that 440K is Warps. Who knew? (I don't get out much) Yes, one and the same. In a former life I owned a 240k "project car". It had a P76 4.4 V8 in it, and sat in my shed for about 2 years before I saw the light and sold it. Last I heard the new owner was fitting an LS1 and going drag racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240kingdat Posted May 14, 2009 Share #12 Posted May 14, 2009 Custom steelworks canberra has a 240k coupe and a four door to get templates from. Photos are necessary to see how extensive the rust is and over what area of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
