But you are right they are not taking on any more import cars.

its a bummer to as they are so fast with every thing. I got off the phone with them yesterday and then went to the panel shop and they allready had all the paper work faxed over that they needed to start the job and they where hanging around out side for me to get there.

Yeah they did mine super fast .. And the Panel Beater knew the assesor ... LSV were ringing up the panel shop to harass them to fix the car ... But we were awaiting the parts (as you know)... So we kept telliing them that ...

Also there is a white rear bar on ebay at the moment for $270 ...

i picked up a second hand rear bar for $150 at asian autos brisbane, so look around that price. and make sure that the rheo behind the bar is in good condition or it will never sit right.

thanks for the info
I will be looking into new parts if they are going to fix the car.

Yeah but they won't approve new parts.. I tried to get a new headlight, but they would only approve exchange..

Sorry to hear Aza! Hope you're ok. I've got a spare rear bar in black. Might suit the panda look lol. It's got a few scratches that need to be fixed but it's yours for free if you want it.

thats sucks aza

you could probably just buff that out

Thanks AJ I will keep that in mind

Tippin I was coming back from supercheep when she hit me. Why was I at supercheep? I was getting cut and polish to polish the car. Oh and they had degreaser 4 cans for $5 so I got 12 cans
so yep I will give it a once over with cut and polish and see how it go's

Same

thats looked remarkable like my rear ender.

lucky for me the boot and lights werent affected

just a new rear, rear beaver panel and backing plate. All the pushed in bits fixed and painted!

Yep its close to that
still have to get a list of things that need to be fixed, as soon as I get that I will post it up.
I won't be getti g all the parts but if I can get them faster than them then I will get them.

That sucks mate
Hope you get it fixed soon Aza.

Well I got news today that they are fixing the car
and the insurance company agreed to new parts too.
1/2 the boot has been pushed in there are cress marks running along the spare wheel bay closest to the back seat.
All this can be pulled out with out affecting the car at all so that is good news.
The back bar is totally stuffed.

parts will take about two weeks to come over from Japan then maybe another week or two to put it all back together and paint. (the times to put it back together are just an approx time frame)

I think it would have been very close to being written off due to cost to fix it.

Well I had a look at the car today all fixed and back together after the spray.
New side skirts are on and painted as well
All they have to do now is give it a good wash and polish and it good to go.

I will post up pics when I get it home and when it's not raining lol.

Can't wait!
