The whole door seal and even the B pillar has been pushed in against the seat. How anyone can survive that on a bike is beyond me!
Have a bent knuckle from the front wheel of the bike as well as well as all the frontal damaged from going off the road not being able to stop.

This is what I did too, only mine is on the mend. It's an 06 WH CRD with less than 60K on the clock, also from a Brisbane repairable write off auction. I'm chuffed & can't wait to get it on the road!
All it need to be complete and inspected is a rear bumper.
Marcus, are you using yours for your Willys project? I'd be interested in taking it off your hands if you don't need it. Let me know ASAP!

Attached Pics... Before and After!

Love to see the pictures but not there for some reason?
I am not using the rear bumper at all but am down in Melbourne.

Default Sweet buying!
Anyone else suprised that the airbag hasn't gone off despite the large portion of frontal damage? Its my one fear when buying accident damaged stuff- I always keep the battery disconnected until the airbag(s) is disconnected & removed.

Surprised by the curtain airbags myself too and when I first rang the previous owner, he was hoping I was from Jeep and going to investgate it!
The frontal damage the tree he ended up stopping against missed the frame rail completely so would have been a slower impact and not as much speed by then.

Did you ask him how he lost it in the 1st place? Snow trip?
