Hi Guys,
took the prado 4wding on the weekend and think I did a little bit of damage. I bottomed out in a washout and hit hard. Everything seemed ok until I had the car cleaned and noticed the left fender was sitting a little low.
Turns out when I bottomed out, the tyre bashed through the guard and bent the skirting and the panel. Went around to a few panel beaters, but no one wants to touch it as they're not equipped for 4wd and are unsure what other damamge may be underneath the skirting inside the engine bay. All that can visibly be seen is a small paint chip near where the fender meets the A Pillar, and the fact that the bonnet to fender gap is now 5 odd mm instead of the usual 2 or so mm. The chassis doesn't feel bent or in trouble, but that's why I want an expert to have a look at it. Can anyone point me in the right direction???
Thanks,
Lorenzo
