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.

I must ask, what did you do?

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.

Hey Matt, try looking up ebay item 200335857627. Sounds interesting. I wonder if they could help?

From this perfect 3 point landing...

To this...

:cry:

Musta been that cheap, nasty suspension you were running, hey MAtt;)

well, its cheap, NOW. :tapemouth

DING!!! :bulb: I've just worked out that 440K is Warps. Who knew? (I don't get out much)

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:

what a nice find! thanks for that. I've emailed him. I'll let you know how I get on.

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.

well, its cheap, NOW. :tapemouth

Really? Are the MCA bits salvageable?

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

yes. need new shafts though.

I knew I liked the cut of Warps' Jyb. Its because you're of good stock. :cool:

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!

Thats good to hear. It would be pretty difficult to make parts based off photos and measurements.
