Such an incredibly sad sight to see the car that inspried me to buy a Torana in the first place like that. I even feel a little gutted myself, don't even know what to say man.

If I can be of any assistance what so ever - which I doubt, give us a bell mate.

Shattered for ya mate! I was looking forward to getting out on some cruises with ya!

Oh well, just hurry up and get the blue beast on the road now.. I'm guessing it may take a slightly different direction now?

I hope you were insured for this, it helps lessen the hurt a tiny bit!

Such a shame. But in the end its just a bit of metal and on to bigger and better things.
No doubt motivation isnt there at the moment but when its starts to come back, no doubt the next project will blow this one away.

Mate, considering what you have learnt and how much you have done given how little knowledge you said you had, you did a great job.

I reckon you could repair this. It would take you some time, but I reckon you could fix it.

cheers

Although i dont think i have ever posted in your thread mate, its always one of the build threads i look for everytime i log on. Its amazing to see what you have taught yourself to do on your car. I know what ever you decide to do whether repair it or start another it will turn out even better than the last.

I really feel for you mate

Man I know how that feels.....I found figuring out the next step with it was ~~one of~~ the hardest part, you got every punter giving you their opinion, pulling your arm this way and that way, and I guess its hard because you've gotta decide what to do with it, Especially if your a bit attached to it. Whatever your plans you've got help a phone call away.

Either way you choose, she's been one hell of a ride. A couple of my favorites from my collection.

Brad told me about this this afternoon. Can't believe it Heath. Don't write it off straight away though mate. Have a think once you're feeling better and see if its worth repairing/building into something sick. But yeah, sorry to hear about this.

Gutted to see this Heath. I only ever saw it briefly in person last year, but the amount of effort you have put into the car over the years always surprised me.

I know Im not the only one thinking about asking, so I may as well do it for us all.

What Happened?

RIP BBQ202.

but heres to a new chapter in your life mate. Live and Learn. I smashed my daily back in the day, even though it wasnt worth lots and wasnt the nicest car in the world, I was still gutted. Took me ages to get over the fact that I wasnt able to avoid the accident and come to terms with my skill not being where I thought it was.

I'm 1200kms away mate, but if any of us can help out, let me know.
