Sorry to hear about this
Those deer are a real pain, many a car has fallen to them round grinstead.
Hope you get it sorted, you could also chop for a newer one, there are/were some good 2's around at the moment.

Thanks Antnkel, looks like cash in lieu of repair more common than, hopefully I'll be able to get the same
What did it set you back to get yours sorted?

Cheers Tim. Been looking around at a few UK cars on eBay/Pistonheads as swapping my engine/mods into a newer UK car has crossed my mind.

Re: Just crashed my car - **repairs update**
sorry to hear, but its not that bad really, it gutting but no worse than i have done to mine and were putting it right.
il admit mine was far from mint example, but there was no way it was making its way to the scrap yard in the sky just yet
before
here's what i had left with
once removed bumper and surveyed extent of structual damage the crash bar, bit of the slam panel, the impact things, so wasnt bad but that was an armco at around 50mph.
hope this give you faith to rebuild and save

It was about £2000 and that was with some jig work, was quite lucky really the guy who did it had a black shell with all the bits needed.
Plus I bought the side and fog lights and a new rad.

60% is what they normally payout before writing off, looks like you got a good deal.

Ah, then were talking about different things. What I'm talking about is not a straight payout but a cash-in-leui arrangement where they actively try to keep the car on the road and give a full a full payout mnus just 17% (there salvage cut) and DO NOT write the car off. They leave it up to you to fix the car. Thats not to say you then HAVE to fix the car. You get the cash adn the car this way so even if it turns out not to be fixable like in my case you still haev the car to break and move parts ove from to a fresh shell.

Re: Just crashed my car - **repairs update**
in response to your post in guru corner (i'm not a guru)
The lower cross member (that the rad sits on) is spot welded on in the AW11's so I presume its the same in an sw20.
resonably cheap from toyota too.
looking here there appears to be some descriptions, but no pics

Re: Just crashed my car - **repairs update**
Hi Tim, yeah found that diagram last night and Peter confirmed earlier that its spotwelded on. Not too much of an issue provided I can source a new one, as the US based parts site that I found the diagrams you posted on list the part as not available, so I'll likely have to get a second hand one, not that I have any issues with that
Providing the insurance play ball she will live again!
Even found a decent source for a replacement BBS LM, though its gonna cost me a pretty penny to get it shipped from the land of the rising sun!
Cheers wadeski, I hope so too!

Try toyota in crawley, get a quote off them, sometimes random things are cheap, my rad support beam was ~£30, yet water pump o rings are £5 each
