Elsewhere in the post he says that a Harley hit it in the side CRDSTU.

A friends son hit a landcruiser years ago on his Harley - rolled the Landcruiser...

Yep, hit by a Harley doing around 160 kph the cops think!
Looks like he laid the bike down though because the damage is right across the whole front door as well as rubber left on the front wheel. It hit the wheel that hard that it bent the knuckle/spindle causing the wheel to lean in 3* at the top. Jeep wanted over $1400 for a new one! Picked one up in the US for $60 second-hand guaranteed to be straight. Checked the photos of the donor and saw it was not damaged on that side so went with that.

Ahhh finally worked out this Photo attachment thing. (after about 3 hours!) Had to re-size the pix etc. (Newb to this stuff!)... Anyway, I'm a new comer to the Jeep family (and the forum obviously!) with the purchase of this WH - CRD at auction. Currently (still) in the panel shop getting repaired.
Damaged on all 4 corners, but repairable! It has been a long drawn out process finding the parts (at the right price!) and issues with the panel beater! . Only missing 2 parts now... like Gojeep, bent RH Stub axle/knuckle (will look to the US for one, any tips would be welcome!) and a LH door mirror.
Will be very glad to get it on the road! Finally!

I'd love to see you running round the block like that front-less WH Gojeep! And love the Willy's project! Gees you've done some work on cars!

A few before... and afters...

Easiest way is to upload to a free photo hosting server like: http://photobucket.com/
then use the "Insert Image" icon on this forum post message or reply panel and insert a link to your pics on the photo server....Too easy
