Needless to say this weekend wasn't my best......I need the following for a NAS Defender 90 SW (ALPINE WHITE would be nice)
Bonnet
Grill Support
Passenger wing set (wing top, side and nose piece)
Stock Bumper
Drivers side Rocker panel
If you have any of these or have taken them off (the rocker panel) and don't need them please pm me as I'm trying to decide what to do.
The body pieces need to be in good condition.
Thanks,
Adam

What kind of shape is it in? Any ideas on shipping cost to 84601

Good shape but not perfect.
Shipping will be about $125-150 assuming I can get it under UPS's max size (it should be ok).

Got 'em all, except the bonnetts are set up for a spare tire mount- one used and one new. Where are you located?

Adam, do you mind sharing what happened, as well as pictures?
What's a driver side wing set going for these days (or at least side and nose)?

Wing is in the 3-500 range these days.

Ok so I'll share the full story......as long as you guys don't think I'm always this air headed. So went out for a great day on the trails....photos attached. While out doing a trail called rattlesnack and constrictor 5+ rated. I bent my passenger side bumper back a little.
So as I head home I think of this novel idea to use the 15,000lbs winch on my Unimog to just bend back out a little bit. Get everything lined up with my D-90 behind it and then I fire up the Unimog and let it warm up. Check the e-brake as I get out. The Unimog is on an incline and I'm sure you can see where this is headed. Jump out and get in the back of the Unimog to get a tow strap to wrap around the bumper so I don't scratch it up.....the weight of me getting in the back causes the Mog to roll backwards at about 1/2 mile an hour the e-brake is still on. I have enough time to jump out of the Unimog run around get in the drivers seat but just as I hit the brake it runs into the front of my D-90.
I wish I had something really cool to tell you but it was just plain stupidity on my part. I will share pictures of the day and the Unimog so you can get the full effect of going from a great day to a bad day. :(

Someone here just listed a ton of body parts within the last month - I can't remember who it was or how much of the stuff sold.

Oh, and the Mog is wild.

Dude that is not damaged. It is just a character mark. I say you need a hammer a piece of wood and a towel.

Yeah I know it doesn't seem that bad but I guess it's my OCD.

Adam,
So you don't feel so bad, I had just installed my freshly powder coated bumper. So I like to back into "My unofficial space" in the parking garage at work. Well looking backward while going forward to see where I was going to park ended with me hitting a parked car and bending the driver's side bumper. DAH not to mention owing the other party $400 to get there bumper fixed.
I pretty much used the same technique that you did for bending it back out except that I used a nylon tie down, a parking garage pole and a friend to help me pull it back out buy easing off the clutch in reverse. Needless to say there still is a small krinkle in it.
I am still awaiting a Darwin Award.
A D-90 and a Unimog.... Just need to add a Panzgauer and you're set

Is that a fairlead in/on the rack above the pass. door?

Bummer.
If it makes you feel any better, a few weeks ago I was on the trail and the guy in front of me somehow got out of his jeep with it in neutral and no e-brake and started walking away. He noticed it was moving and ran back to stop it, but I think put it in reverse or hit the gas or something and it rolled back faster than before into my D90. It had a 35" tire on the back so it hit my rockware bumper pretty high, which apparently gives it lots of leverage and flexed on the mounting bolts and the brush bar portion hit my fenders. Before this I swore by the rockware. I have eyebrow shaped creases on the fronts of my fenders and on the drivers side it split the seam between the top and side panels. As the saying goes sh*t happens so I didn't give the guy any grief about it.
Nice unimog!

Thanks for the stories guys.....it does make me feel better and you're right sh*t happens. Oh well huh!
Rovertrader......yeah it is a fairlead. I have 4 winches on the Unimog front and rear hydraulic and two on the cab (one on each side) electrical.
Well I'm going to try and figure out exactly what I need over the next week thanks for all the input on parts I will be getting a hold of you as soon as I decide what to do. Wondering if anybody has some take off rocker panels in alpine white?

Adam, as I said, I have all the parts, but I think the sills are red- need to check.
