:shock:
that is not a little bit of damage

when you told me i was not expecting that

that is crazy.
hope you can get it all good very soon :shock:
i have driven on gravel roads in cars, but when i went on one in my mini, it did want to slide heaps more than any other cars
I think it just means take it easy

The problem with getting a new shell is all the extra work, not to mention the extra money involved in changing things over, especially if there isn't anyone that can help you out for free or you don't have the equipment, experience or room to do it...

Ah yes... good old gravel roads.
They are very scary.
I came unstuck on one once, ended up in a ditch, off the side of the road.
One of the front wheels was hanging over, so i couldnt even back it up.
Had to walk half a kay to some persons house (lucky they were home) and she got her 4wd out and towed me. :D

No damage to my car.


Sorry to see it mate.
Good luck with the repairs.



Oh well I guess willy will be regreting this post he probably JYNXED himself by saying it

Glad to hear you are getting your Mini fixed and not scrapping her :)...

Thanks for sharing the photo and the update.. I hope she is as good as new when you get her back :)..

Can I also ask where you are getting the work done?

As I would like to find a decent panel beater and not a panel replacer for Granny.. As she has a couple of dings in her I want taken out and not bogged up.
