Long story short... a few months ago my brother took my brand new Civic for a ride without asking and then crashed it and his friends ran off and he was left to deal with the deluge. HINT: I was not happy at this point, not only with him taking my car without asking but the rotten fools who ran off.
This was in May 2012 when it rained so hard it flooded half of Sydney on that gloomy Wednesday. Anyway, what happened was he ran up the back of a brand new Ford Focus that belonged to the service manager of a Ford dealer in Sydney. I ended up paying a lot of $$$ to repair his car and then saved up to repair my own car afterwards through lots and lots of overtime at work. I have insurance but I'm already hit hard with being an under 25 year old owner and the excess was $2400, so I worked out paying out the other party was cheaper and did that.
Anyway, about a month ago I finally had the time and money to do some repairs. I replaced the bumper support and re-used my mash bumper after molding it back into shape again. However, the driver side headlight won't align now and the gap on my bonnet on the drivers side is slightly larger than the left hand side. My mechanic friend said it looks like the chassis has been damaged???
I've put it all together again and it looks okay, you can't notice it unless you're picky and walk up to have a close look but still I'd like to know if I actually have chassis damage. I have no wheel alignment issues at all.
That's what happened...
Thanks.
