david1972 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Browsing bits for my car, hardest thing is going to be that rear panel... will leave that until last I think. Major ones first such as wing, rear bumper and spoiler. Also done a little diagram to show how the car span, more for my own understanding of what went on.

stants Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 How'd you manage that mate?Falling over at work hands full with nowhere to land but on my side onto a shelf edge, did it 10 days ago but the pain has gradually got worse so decided to get it looked at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Ouch. Just heavy dose of painkillers for that. I did similar. Tripped at work broke my hand. But being self employed I couldn't afford time off. Manage just two days off. I thought it was just sore. Took 3 days before I went to have xray.

Dogconker Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Where there's blame there's a claim, where there isn't there always some idiot company willing to give it a go Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I blame a concentrated area of gravity. You gotta watch out for those. They especially target seniors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with it Stants Cheers mate, I have a lot of previous in the bone breaking debt, it's no biggie really I've a four inch plate and a load of screws in my collar bone, broke my leg in two places when I was a youngster and fallen of bikes both powered and human powered, broken both arm and wrist in the past [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Fixed the squeaking parcel shelf with some black felt. Not very exciting but had to start with something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we get on with it. :D Sent from my Galaxy S 5 using Tapatalk Know that feeling, very weak left ankle from years of judo. But having dislocated my left knee 5 times now have learned the art of falling gracefully, or as my wife calls it, going down like a sack of spuds. Trying to stay upright usually results in my knee popping and that's much more painful than the floor hit.
