Turns out you can't keep a good car down. Despite my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , my Ford is now back on the road. And not a moment too soon, my mum's automatic Lancer/Mirage (depending on your market) wasn't cutting it anymore...
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , my suspension magician worked his magic on those bent rods. As the pic above shows, there's no more wheel rubs and it's quite straight. Upon putting it all back together, a test drive to confirm that it still drove like an ST should was in order, it was solid as a rock so the repair job was given the thumbs up.
Now that the suspension was taken care of, it was now my job to try and get all the shit off the side where it had hit the bricks. I was genuinely concerned for the state of the paintwork. However, thanks to the magic of polish, you wouldn't even know how bad it used to look. Seriously, Polish is amazing, when I get time, I'm doing the whole damn thing.
Here's a little before and after for the full effect...
All in all, I was damn lucky to get away which such minor damage and It's so good to have MY car back, MY manual car.
Grand total for the repair: $0 AUD - WINNING!

Good to hear your car is as good as new! And yes, it's amazing what you can polish off. Had a similar mishap a few months ago, it's almost invisible now.

He's actually the worst person in the world for accepting gifts. I've known him 15yrs (Since I was 3) and he's always been like that. What's worse is that the only beer he drinks he gets for free. I gotta work something out...

Maybe you could present him with the severed head of a kangaroo? That's something you Australians do, right?
