frannybigballs 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 cars still outside, feeling sorry for itself. just going to wait for the call and see what they say, i reckon they'll write it off, and when they do i'll be stripping it for parts to sell on =) Link to post Share on other sites
Bigjobbo 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Take the car back off them if they right it off. The 1/4 is defo repairable, second hand door, and paint 1/4 , door and wing. I wouldn't sacrifice the car for what seems like light damage. Do you know any sprayers/beaters? Link to post Share on other sites
frannybigballs 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 oh i will do. did it with a cosworth few years ago. only thing is, i think they want to fill the dents with bog, and the bottom of the door is seriously bent. its a blessing in disguise as the rear 1/4 has got a bit of rust and 2 small dents from a hit and run type accident where the other driver failed to stop so i could catch the bastard!!
