ddddddddoooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
just slid on a wet corner and went straight into a curb.
the frount subframe has been pushed into the bulkhead and thers is a small crease visable.
i am very upset/angry/imbarrased
this is gonna be expensive!
oopsie :nugget:
ooops
try a porta power 
o dear :gasp:
oh dear
i dunno how much its gonna cost me i am going to the garage tomorrow to get a quote. i just hope the steering racks ok, the one on there has only done a couple of months driving.
does anyone know if fitting negative camber arms makes the steering worse in the wet?
I did the same and bent my subframe, bulkhead, A pillar, wing, bottom arm, steering rack, shock mount, driveshaft and snapped the tie bar and put a massive crease in my wheel.
Fixed all the bent stuff that night then took the car to my mates body shop and he *cough* jigged it back out for my. His methods were a little primative, but it worked and was free - we too the front end off and tied a chain around the front subframe and a steel pillar in his workshop and revved the engine fairly high before letting the clutch go. After a couple of attempts it was back to normal, but if you are a nervous person then I wouldn’t suggest watching as this is done, unless you like seeing your beloved car bounceing about a foot off the floor every time the chain goes tight
ouch! :nugget:
and they made you head mini doc on here :saywhat:
lol @ bungle
ive done something like that to a mates fiat after he put it in a ditch and bent the chassis, we chained the back to a post then i used my lorry with a chain on the bent chassis, 2 or 3 good pulls and it was like new :smartass:
Been there done that…
The way to get rid of a dent is reverse the procedure which caused it… :erm: :nugget:
A ‘crashette’! LOL!
Gutted for you!
O Dear, You car looked so good, bet it will look better than it is now when its fixed.

LOL @ Rich, I love that did that with a few escorts of my mates LOL!!! ~
Unlucky for you mate hope you get it sorted.
its good news i went into the local mini garage at lunch and showed him the damage, he said it wasnt too bad and will be easily fixed with a jig. he has moved a few jobs around and he is going to do it tomorrow.
i think it may cost a bit as i need a few new mounts and there is going to be the labour aswell but at least it will be back on the road in one piece.
i have given it a cheak over in the light today and the only thing that shows is that the wheels is curbed a bit. and if you look a bit closer you can see the wheels are misaligned but apart from that you would never know.
you curbed those alloys??? how dare you!! and i thought they were going a good home!!!
glad it’ll be fixed mate!
lol minimadjonesy. no the wheels arent any more curbed than when i got them.
they did go to a good home honest, there are going to be fully reconditioned when i get the money.
Mate, you know I’m only joking! Glad the car will be fixed! shame to see all your work go to waste!
yay i got my car back yesterday!
it all drives straight and is all good, the only thing i am not keen on is that the handling is really light now.
i am hoping to get this better by adjusting the tie rods.
the down side is that i am going to new a new subframe as it is slightly bent!
