Could have been worse. In 1984 I bought a Madeira red 308 M21 HZ Kingswood sedan. I had it for a year or so and a mate bought it and spent some $ on it. In NQ doing 100+ km/h the left front balljoint let go and he speared off into the only tree in sight. The car was a mess, luckily he was OK. I have since found out there was less than 800 x 308, 4spd HZ Kingswoods made, so a rare car wrecked unfortunately.
Lesson, don't use cheap crap imported ball joints!
thats not good at all :( glad damage was minimal and no one was hurt. and the van survived. sad story about the one hitting a tree too tho. very lucky the driver survived, but sad loss of what sounded like a very nice and rare kingswood
