hey folks
i think i've been on this board before, but i dont remember the username or password. anyways.
i'm from adelaide. i have (or had) a nice (well, i think so anyway  ) yellow sprinter... some of you may have seen it around the place... sort of a mustard sorta yellow, 15" simmons deep dish rims, exhaust, front lip....... anyways
(seems the story has gotten around adelaide a bit but i'll say it anyway)
i was out driving one night about a month and a half ago and my rear right tire blew whilst i was going round a fairly shallow corner... (no, i wasnt trying to drift!  there's a massive cliff around that part and i'd kill myself if i screwed it up...). i ended up sideways, and hitting a guard rail front on.

anyways, insurance said it was fixable, but refused to go higher than 3000 on the agreed value when the policy was started... (god knows why i agreed with that....) but anyway.. they said that it is fixable, but will be up on 5g, maybe even more... therefore, in their books, it's a write off.
the story gets better.... while it was in the towing yard, somebody ripped a whole lotta the cars in there... as a result i've had my 5" autometer tacho, sony stereo and speakers stolen... due to the yard doing police crap, etc, i've only just got the car back: about a month and a half later.
so anyway... long story short.
this sprinter is dedicated to track now. i'm determined to get this thing goin again, and bigger and better than ever.
firstly, i'm looking for help. i dont have a huge amount of money now... as it is, i've spent about 14grand building it from the ground up...
the sorta help i'm looking for is:
- numbers of contacts re panel work, panels, **frame repair**
- the radiator mount and that sorta gear needs replacing/repairing... it's fair bent
- perhaps people willing to do or help with the above themself?
- any available spare parts
- raditator and fan
- various piping
- anything in the front region of the car really....
- contacts or links to a different engine and/or performance parts (not important, moreso for things further down the track, or worth doing at the same time as repairing...)
- i currently have the blue/black top 4age, but with an aftermarket ecu... i'm aiming for a 20v/4agze with turbo (long ways down track)
- gearbox/clutch
- etc
- anything else anyone can help with or is willing to offer
[/LIST]
this is my second sprinter, and i have a whole lotta parts left over from salvaging the first one (a red one that got t-boned).
parts i DO have in relation to the front of the car:
- headlights
- front and rear bumpers
- blinkers
- front left quater panel (or is it right, i dont remember)
- bonnet
- grill
- various other bits and pieces...
if anyone is able to help or offer advice in any way at all, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
- dan
