Crashed my RA65

[ScottoRA65]

I recently hit a gutter in my RA65 celica. It was late, very wet and i wasn't very happy at the time, took a corner to fast and bang. I knew at the time my complete left strut was gone, but now since i got it quoted the steering rack, lower control arm and front crossmember is also completely rooted. Its gonna cost all up about 1500 in 2nd hand parts and 500 in labour to get it back on the road. I was just wondering if there was anyone who has spare parts or knows a good place for parts in the ACT, NSW area. Really would like to find a cheap source on parts since already been ripped off 500 bucks in towing fees :(

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

partslocator magazine used by wreckers and mechanics is a good place to start, looks a little confusing when you first open it, take some time---use the index

Mate what happen to driving safely? :o

Last thing you want is to spend even more money on a car for repairs rather than rice up the ride... :P

Hope you feel better now and drive carefully next time round!

If there's no chassis damage, possibly just buy an old clunker/rust-bucket with the right parts and swap them over? Should be able to get an RA65 that's been rear-ended or something relatively cheap
