Hi from Ballarat, VIC

Hey guys,

I have (well I had) a 1989 Honda Civic GL (3 Door Hatch), but I lent it to someone for half a day and they ended up writing it off, saying that as they took off out of their driveway, the accelerator got stuck and they T-boned a car that happened to be driving past at the time.

Anyway, I thought I would join this forum and see if I could give advice to anyone that needs help or anything. I have worked on a few different Honda's so I know at least the basics of them haha.

And by the way, my Honda wasn't covered by insurance because someone else was driving it, so now it is at home and I am just going to sell parts off it and scrap the rest. So if anyone needs anything, let me know and I probably have it. Damage was to the bonnet, R/H/F guard, front bumper bar, R/H/R Quarter Panel (because the force of the impact made the rear of the car side into a fence), inner guard and chassis rail is all bent and twisted. Not too good.

Anyway, looking forward to talking to new people and offering any helpful advice that I can.

Cheers,
Ben

Thanks mate, yeah I doubt that I will get anything from him. I haven't even spoken to him since. I had to go pick up the car, and ended up limping it to my workplace, which was hard because the R/H/F tyre was going flat plus the coolant had leaked out of the radiator (luckly wasn't too far away from where I work), then I ended up hiring a tandem trailer and towing it home. I pulled the guard, headlight and bumper bar off to check how bad the damage was. When looking straight at the front of the car, you could see the that whole lot had shifted over (whole front end is bent), plus the rear quarter, not worth fixing.
