you did a great job on the front, did you fix it or did you have to replace the nose?

Yes it survived, but needed pushing back a little bit as it was slightly bent inwards (un-noticeable really, just made the door fit a bit nicer) inner deformation panel was lightly damaged but again this was bent back. Other damage was a bent dashboard, due to the handbrake mount being fixed to the air box, which was also pushed back.. That's about it... Bloody lucky my van wasn't lowered at the time, else the passenger would o had a fece full of pick up truck!
