amps stereo... hahah bout 10-15k worth,
insurance is all sweet the bloke at just car was more than helpful, updated my policy and everything... Have got to add up the cost off the stereo and the airbag setup and then submit it to them to see if they will cover it, with an adjustment to my premium, so they can get a better idea of what it is worth... we will be talking around 55-60k

Bad luck, mate. As has already been said, it was a great looking ute!
It looks like the area of origin is around the right hand side of the battery, where it looks like the +ve terminal is.

What a mess :( , both cars, best of luck to both of you getting them sorted out.
HLC , if you have insurance and you stated the car is locked up/garaged , then don't say it happened in your driveway at night ! ( if that's where it did happen ?), or they will reject your claim. cheers.
