Some one hit my GQ yesterday, and have buckled the rim, bent the RH trailing arm and thrown the thing way out of wack.....what elso do I need to look ate? the shocks, panhard and opposite trailing arm look ok but there is a wicked angle on the diff
I want to make sure the insurence peoples fix it up properly

Having your ride off the road sucks. Had someone drive into the back of mine the other day, Wasn't bad as it was only in a car park. He smashed his headlight and stuffed up his front bar and all I got was a little bit of his white paint on my rear bar.

worst thing is i wasnt driving it, but the insurence mob still drops my no claim binus down a notch.
