Yesterday arvo i hit my first roo, the ironic thing is that i have lived on this road for 13 yrs now and i know when and where im most likely too see a roo, less than 2ks from town at about 3 in the arvo i come around the courner at bout 110 and here comes one of the biggest roos i have seen in the area (not as big as a red but there are mostly wallabys here) heading for the center of the road, i slowed down as much as i could, without slamming on the breaks, and swerved a little but there was just no way to avoid her. To make things worse she had a joey which died before i could get her to a wildlife carer, who took her anyway. I have to say though im supprised at the little damage she caused, lucky cause i have no insurance, stupid me.
So has anyone got any suggestions on the damage i copped? The radiator seems fine as far as i can see and has had no contact with the aircon which is now bent but not leaking. see pics below.

So what did you do?

So what did you do?

i got at all bend back into shape and i had to get a new radiator new thermostat new thermo fans, it was all down hill from after i hit it because i didn't realise how much damage it actually did untill i had the front bumper of the car, it was fine for a couple of days then i blew my radiator and all my cooling, and i was super close to blowing a head.

Well fortunatly for me radiator is fine, gonna try and bend some of the body back into shape over the next few days, got a friend who owns a wrecking yard so getting parts is not an issue. Majorly sucks that i just spent over $2000 on her over the last few mths, including all my suspension and bushes.

yeah after that i fixed the car up then sold it, and brought my te. EDIT: my mate is a welder and fabracator so he fixed my front end up for me.

Well the cars now mostly fixed, we took it to a friend that specialises in pretty much anything, so he had a look and said aslong as we havent cracked anything and it still works don't worry about it. He also had some really good advice on how to get the bar back into the right spot, so we took it home, wraped a tow cable round a tree and hooked it up to a thick strap (pretty much the stuff they use on seatbelts) which we managed to get round the bar, then we slowly reversed back and she bent right back into place. If anyone wants to try this be very carefull, we were probably lucky. Got a new bumper, hood and Grill from the wreckers and replaced them, now the only thing i have to do is get all the pannels and hood to line up properly, but nothing a lil bangen wont fix lol. Appart from that shes looking pretty sweet.
