WANTED: RB PANELS---URGENT!!

I smashed my gemmi! Sad

A small truck jumped infront of me on the freeway and i went straight into the back of him - Yesterday.

Lucky the chassis or engine isn't damaged-
The radiator, bonet & front Left hand panel are a bit sick though....
Actually, they're trashed & need replacing, also need left headlight & indicator, as well as a two-piece left bumper mount & a grille.

Electricals seem to be ok but i need one of those little-black-plastic-box-with-wires-inside things, it's just behind the battery...don't know the name.

Because it's my only source of transport- i NEED to get it fixed....this week.
I've only got $240.
I just spent $900 two weeks ago on a new radiator & fuel pump, as well as getting the head done, so i'm nearly broke.
(it's heart-breaking to see a Brand New Radiator with a hole in it!)

To get it fixed by a panel beater is about $1500, so i'm gonna have to fix it myself.
If ANYONE has parts i could buy off them or know somewhere i could get parts for my little RB, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks Heaps.

i've only got 3rd party.

There were 3 lanes of traffic, the left & middle lane were starting to slow down but the right lane was moving quite quickly-The guy pulled infront of me without even looking, but he put his indicator on. And because i hit him in the back it's technically my fault.

well if you did need them urgently you probably would have replied by now; i bought a lhf gaurd from the wreckers late last year for the princely sum of $150, so it aint going to be cheap. you could always find an rb in the street and just loot what you need off it, then again that could be a bit illegal

How is it his fault?

I mean, i thought if you hit anyone in the back it was your fault- despite the circumstances.
