New rocker cover and cam sensor should see the motor running again. At the moment I be happy if it's not a write off.

A very sad sight to see mate.....

There's no doubt about it, you don't want to hit any kind of wildlife out there, at least it wasn't a wombat, they're more like hitting a solid rock!

Hopefully it won't be a write-off but with the cost of a replacement bonnet plus the other damage (radiator & front cross member in particular) I wouldn't hold my breath.....

The main thing is that you are ok!
The car can be replaced if required.....

Doubt it will be a write off, saw worse damage on a Na repaired recently.

Had a chat with the panel beater, he doesn't think it will be a write off

Damn, seeing the mess of the bonnet and rocker you saved serious injuries by it not going thru the screen. Good Luck with the rebuild.

Got word back today, my car will not be written off

.
Was a bit touch and go, $7600 repair bill on a $10,500 insured value. Pretty sure I'm getting back all the premiums back that I've paid over the years.

are they coming to the party with some form of loan/hire car, or do you have to lump it?

I have numerous cars I can borrow to get around, could even break out the deadly treadly and try and lose a few kg.

Yep. This little encounter was from a glancing blow on Tourist Road at Glenquarry.

Got my car back today! :mrgreen:

First couple of hundred metres of driving it were a bit odd after driving a range of other vehicles in the last month. It felt special, it felt alive.
So now back to business as usual, more mods, track days and adventures to come
