Smashed the alloy - tyre still up tho:

Don't think these are supposed to look like this:

Fortunately the only bodywork damage:

So I picked up some spares from mr draper and had 2 hrs on it last nite.
Spot the difference:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0841.jpg
Stripped the polys off the old one, im going to use the whole thing from the new one just incase the old one was bent other than where it's obvious:

A couple of pics for lionel - a good wire wheel, some etch, red oxide and then satin black:

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0845.jpg
And fitted:

Won't know for sure until i measure it wheel centre fron the back but it looks a lot healthier now:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0851.jpg
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0853.jpg
So i spent the next 40 mins or so getting the brake pipes off the beam - ******* job - and stripping the driver side hub - im just going to swap the passenger one straight over if i can get it off when the beam is off. So i left it at that......
amateur lol
that btom arm might straighten out :tard:
amateur what? im sorry u cant be about to make sure i do everything properly.... :thumb:
All the sh1te we gave you for those pics, what a let down, I was expecting tho see the wheel tucked under the beamlol
Have you checked the hub to see if it's bent?
the hub/stub is definately bent - im not sure how to check if the end of the beam is bent or not - hence swapping the lot, maybe i dont need to but id hate to just swap the hubs and then find its still not right!
As I already said mate, unlucky on the mishap, happens to the best of us. Good to see you cracking on and getting it sorted and bonus times on it not doing any bodywork damage
Ha ha cheers mate - dont know about happens to everybody but im sure it wont be the last time i bend it! we need to get yours done!
Well when your ready mate we can hit the rest of the wiring, I didn't want to hassle you about it, appreciated what you've done already. But give us a shout when your all sorted :thumb:
I've identified all the wires for the dash now so there's not much left to do as far as the wiring goes :d
Bay looks super clean dude!
Cheers mate.
Did a bit more on it last nite - beam coming off:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0858.jpg
And off, shame to replace it as its actually a lot cleaner than the beam I got to go on it:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0859.jpg
Looks a little sorry for itself:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0861.jpg
And after about an hour of angle grinder knot wheel action I could paint the new beam - which now looks like this......
....... for lionel....... always for lionel......
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0856.jpg
Picked up a new bearing and wheel cylinder for the drivers side this morning so can rebuild that lot tomorrow.
Don't know why you bothered painting it, you'll only bend it toolol
Very possibly - no idea where i picked up the obsessive compulsion to clean up every part before i put it on the car from......:roll:Quote:

i doubt it mate - i need to get the back end all back together, get it tracked and hopefully get it mapped - not looking good! Everything is off/stripped/painted ready to go back on now.
well its been out for a drive today - tracking is out but it feels straight so im not complaining - also measures spot on wheel centre to centre, side to side - so i think im lucky.
Beam about ready to go on:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0862.jpg
And on, with a bit of a straighten and some paint on the arch lip:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0863.jpg
Other side:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0864.jpg
After a good look im still not convinced that the beam didn't bend - i think theres a very slight kink in the upright on the drivers side end. But its pretty obvious that this is where most of the bending was:
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...a/IMGP0865.jpg
Along with the lower arm - so plans now are fit the quickrack, get it tracked and get some different wheels.... but at least she moves again - in a week which i wanted!
well done mate, glad it's sorted, just sorry I had no time to assist.
Nice one, glad it'll be back soon, look how fancy that beam looks all painted up too! lol
Smashing!
