Get a quote from a panel beater before you do anything drastic... and I'm sure you can find better than an SP with more than 240,000kms on it...

atsp · 07-06-2009, 10:52 PM

nah trust me, theres only 1 astina sp on carsales in nsw lol
i got a quote for 2k plus.. i dont think its worth =/ can anyone get a cheaper panel beater?

if your handy with metalwork at all you could do the pop-up removal i saw in a car mag about 4-5 years ago on a popup mx5. all they did was remove the headlights, make a VERY simple sheet metal frame. put in one of those oblong driving lights, then covered it with clear plastic.

im sure with some ingenuity, a heat gun and some perspex or similar you could bend it to the shape of the BG headlight covers and walk away with a custom look.

That or grab a second hand set of headlights, take off the covers and mold some lights into the outside of it, then cover them in fibreglass or carbon if you want to really take time doing it (annoying without a vacuum thingo though) . at least its drivable and you dont have to worry about changing cars JUST yet.

chrisw · 08-06-2009, 09:31 AM

hah, and i didnt even look at the thread, but theres an example of what im talking about

atsp · 08-06-2009, 10:23 AM

70NYD · 08-06-2009, 11:21 AM

u dont even need to be good with metal, just bend it and cut it where needed, then if u cant weld, use bolts

atsp · 08-06-2009, 12:42 PM

atsp · 08-06-2009, 05:08 PM

mussing · 08-06-2009, 07:53 PM

chrisw · 09-06-2009, 03:30 PM

i have a love hate with my BG too, i hate loving it.

In reality its a poor car, just a basic 1992 mazda, but oh so much character.

plus with a nice set of JDM wheels and a nice stance they look hot.

atsp · 09-06-2009, 06:04 PM

ahaha yeh, for some reason i dont want to let go. but its time for a new car ! eventually... =/

chrisw · 11-06-2009, 11:10 PM

if this gets parted im putting dibs down on some parts :P depending on the condition.
- front seats.
- wheels
- tail lights and middle garnish

mussing · 11-06-2009, 11:15 PM

Well if we're gonna be like that, I'll be first in line for the foggies...

Old Grey · 12-06-2009, 12:23 AM

That's not much damage

Looks like the radiator support near the lock has to be pushed down to make the bonnet level again

Just tie it to a tree and reverse very slowly with the rope pulling in a downard direction

Most parts are soft on cars just stand on the rad support and you will bend it

atsp · 12-06-2009, 08:10 AM

tie to a tree? haha wanna show me? i really want to fix it
