Just one question.........and it's not a snipe.......I'm just curious thats all......
If someone rammed you up the arse again (I sure hope not mate......for your sake and the cars) would the car not absorb the impact as it should do now since the shell has been weakened??? I honestly don't know mate.......it may be that it makes no difference.......just curious thats all.
I've got on of them porta power tthings but mine didnt come with a puller like yours? How does it work? i.e what does it pull against?
basically its the opposite to the pusher but pulls lol, as for what it pulls against, you have to anchor the car down, in this case it was a load of bricks and a good handbrake and i pulled this off my van which was anchored down the same as the car

i suppose it will be a little weaker, but sometimes it can be stronger when rebuilding as they way they are welded is quite shocking really from factory and when replacing new panels you always put more weld on
the welds in production are tested for strength and cost..remember that all cars have to crumple now! i remember one of the first front crash tests on the l322 range rover smashed the whole test to pieces but the rangey didn't bend a bit !!!!
