HELP!! 

So the other day my little Japanese ferrari and I decided to tag along with a Macrex cruise, I pulled over to fill up as everyone else continued on radioed in and said I'll catch up, little did I know I wasn't going to make much ground.

I've pulled out of caltex and a Series 8 FD RX7 has decided to mess around with me, I wanted to scream "GO PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE." But he kept boosting in my face :( eventually I had enough and I've dropped a gear TVIS'ED away to get into the midst of traffic and away from this prick.

Cruising along, about to turn right onto King georges rd and BAM a 2002 BMW 320i Decided to cut me off. The light when orange & he had a sudden change of mind then slammed on the brakes, putting immense amount of pressure on my slotted discs I came in hot to make out with his rear bar within milliseconds. My whole rear end came right up and my nose dived for hell, putting my driver side front end under his car and straight into his exhaust tip/rear bar 

He jumped out apologized, exchanged details etc etc Now I don't have insurance and technically it was my fault as I have no way to prove he cut me off + insurance will take my baby away from me and this is why I love Car Clubs. You guys are my insurance company 

I am in desperate need of the following:
-Driver side fender
-bonnet
-front bar
-reinforcement bar/radiator holder
-driver side flip up head light
(I don't even mind if its aftermarket, as long as its a tasteful aftermarket part)

HELP MEEEEE!! (Parts, links to wrecks, aftermarket parts sellers anything) I was so looking forward to meeting a few of the locals at Toyota fest and I only purchase her a month ago. We didn't even get through the honeymoon period >.< 
-Daniel (:

My commiserations on your incident.  Can I (apologetically) perhaps add to your misfortunes?  Before you get too far into acquiring parts, check that the front rails are still straight, or if they'll need  pulling out.
 
It would be a shame to get all those panel parts, only to find the front end won't point.

Thank you for pointing this out, I will check as soon as possible. Though I have been considering, parting the car and selling everything on here then scrap the shell.
 
Opinions?

Sorry to hear about your mishap :(
 
I would be interested in buying some body parts if you do part it out. Please let me know if you decide to!

The vultures are circling!!!
 
Is it your only car? if you have time on your hands I can definitely get parts from Japan for you to fix her up, but it might be a fair wait as my next shipment won't be here till next year probably.

Unfortunately yes it's my only car :(

When would you put your next order through for processing?

I can get parts anytime. They just stay in storage till its enough to fill our allocation of the container.

Daniel - any progress on this?  Reason I ask is I have a "project" AW sitting here, and it's been sitting for quite some time now.  Recently there's been calls for a number of major components - drive shafts, gearbox, panels glass etc., and as much as it pains me to, maybe the project car is better as a parts donor vehicle.
 
Currently it's a runner, but not registered. Has "most" of the blue interior trim, but not all.  So, comments from the floor - do I part it out and keep 4 or 5 others on the road, or keep it together and finish the project?
