just seeing if anyone could put me in the right direction ?
crashed my ute the other night with some pretty extensive damage to the front left.
sumped is cracked and steering system from wheel to wheel needs to be replaced :bawl: not sure what the parts are all called .
am looking to find the parts second hand instead of buying from holden to save a few bucks .
yes car was insured but for reasons i dont want to get into insurance isnt an option.
are there many wreckers that get a lot of these or if anyone can steering me in the right direction ?
cheers

If possible I'd suggest trying to get some quotes first, maybe from a couple of places you won't use to do the work, and work from what they say needs replacing. Don't know that there'll be too much second hand stuff around yet.

There are a few commdore only wreckers around Brisbane (e.g. http://www.capalabawreckers.com.au/page/holden_spares.html), but I'd say you'll have some work finding VE bits.

Here's one ad I came across though that may assist for panels/bumpers/etc

I seem to remember user kerdean used to be on here wrecking a few newer cars.
He was from www.magwheelservices.com.au

thanks for the responces fellas !
have found a couple of wrecked omegas and berlinas but am unsure as to if the v6 and v8 models differ as to steering etc ?
