So just before Christmas I got t-boned by a drunk driver who made off afterwards (police got him at is house:lol:)

Truck stood up very well, was only doing about 20 at the time:

Managed to track down his car the day after, what a mess:

Air bags deployed, seat belt tensioners gone, buggered, think its been written off.

As I work in a bodyshop, got my truck written off so get a cash settlement to sort it. Bought same colour doors from a breaker and pulled the post out, but will get a sill cut off one as its easier to do that than repair mine.

What ever left over money will be going on out riggers and lift kit incase it happens again.

Nice repair, that Derek, shame it happened, but no good crying .... As they say :thumbup:
 
Bit of a bummer that but nice one on the repair :thumbup:. The 80 lives to fight another day!
 
Gosh, I wish you lived up the road! Great job. I hope they throw the book at him. It could have been a lot worse.
