    Doesn't really look like the damage is bad enough to be a write-off

    yes and no. if you were to wait around and get deals on all the burt parts, then you could fix it fairly cheaply. if you had to buy all the bits new and then pay standard labour rates to get it all fixed up, then you are looking at enough cash to write it off. probably fairly easily.

    Now, if you have most of the major parts to fix it....

    Thought thats where it might be He shoudl have had it delivered to my place, it would have only needed to go half the distance, and we've got the room to have it inside the shed for as long as needed.

    Kenneth - do you need a storage facility?

    nah, its cool here where i can play with it might have a mini workshop day at my place so we can clean it up a bit.

    we actually hired a trailer, borrowed my brother in laws 4wd and towed it back. cast about $150 all up with fuel costs and such I guess. but at least we could make sure we had the car when money changed hands etc

    Its a pub in the Uk and she is falling down the trap door that has been left up into the cellar. Ouch
    It normally surfaces on "you've been framed" home video funnies

    No need to, I came up with the cunning plan of using the Legnum to tow the Galant up to the house - much easier
