Disaster......

Ah, thanks yeah I definitely need one of those, are they readily available? I'll have to check with Milners etc tomorrow.

The insurance clerk I was talking to wouldn't give me an idea on that so many thanks nero, much appreciated. If I buy back as salvage though, it'll have the stigma of having been written off won't it, will that cause me a problem with insurance/selling on?

Not 100% sure on this as it will be written off as a category D (un-economical to repair), rather than as cat C or whatever it is that means it's been damaged beyond repair. I think.

I'll have a word with Gaz tomorrow and see what he thinks, being in the insurance industry he should be able to give us an idea of what the insurers stance would be.

Will do, thanks for that osb. (Are you all-seeing and if so could you act as a witness for me? Don't mention the bit about the mobile phone when questioned?)!



Yes I will be a witness I saw it all. I never saw a mobile phone the paper and the coffee cup was in the way. It was all that girls fault with the short skirt and low cut top, if she had not walked out the shop just then, u would have seen the car i am sure.

[Tonka]

The car is at the insurance comapanies approved accident repairers right now. As far as I see it most of these bits are bolt on apart from the inner wing, is that correct? What's involved in replacing the inner wing, is that the difficult bit?
Many thanks.

Hi if the insurance write it off ask them can you get a contract repair, my place does it all the time, plus seeing the damage l have got every bit that you need right down to last nut and bolt.

Your place? What, do you work in a place that could actually fix up the car?

Hehe!! I know where you're coming from on this but I know the history going back 2 owners, I know the head has already been replaced and done properly and it's just had a new set of tyres and new ss exhaust.What's a binger?!
To be honest I'm spread pretty thin at the mo' and the thought of having to go around looking at cars and then ending up with one which goes wrong fills me with dread. So that's how I've come to decide to repair it if possible.

[Tonka]

Spoke to the authorised repairers earlier and they said they'd done the estimate and passed it on to the insurance company.

Wanna guess how much? Let's see who gets closest!
