Ph1 funeral!

[Scotty-boi]

So.......
Following a minor incident last week, the accident assessor has just said to me it is more than likely going to get written off.
Hoping to buy it back from the insurance.
So could be many many parts for sale.
Unless someone wants the whole thing!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

How bads the damage? Pics

 

[Scotty-boi]

Really hard to picture.
But has also mis-shaped that whole rear quarter. Not awfully. But enough. Nice crease under bump strip.
Will get some more photos up when it's light

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

FFs, that's not even that bad, I've seen worse damage than that

I had some tit do that to mine , and allot worse

Get it back and have it pulled and fixed

 

[daveski]

I'd buy that back and carry on driving it

 

[Scotty-boi]

I'm honestly thinking about getting rid of it, or breaking it. Spend an absolute fortune on it. Got it to a good stage. Then this happened. Just can't keep throwing money at it

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Perfect track candidate, that !!

As long as it still drives in a straight line - wouldn't even worry about it.

Strip it and get on with it.

Man up

 

[Pauleds]

Got a bigger crease in the rear quarter in mine and it's been there over 2 years
Might get it fixed one day but I'm not too fussed

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Mine's a bit like that, hence trackcar. Get rid of the marks and it won't look so bad.

 

[Scotty-boi]

Can only afford to run a daily at the moment. And this has been my daily.
Wheel catches the arch on fast dips in road. So not ideal.

Sorry to here that , mine got hit and had a new bonnet & wing & headlight plus painting with the bumper and got the go ahead at the cost to the other persons insurance £1100 , how much did they say the value of the repair would cost.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Give us it here, I'll bend that arch back out

 

[Scotty-boi]

Assessor reckons that the crease won't pull. So said would need a new panel cutting in.
Big work. He said looking at least £1800. On a £2k car. The insurance won't bother

 

[Pauleds]

Piece of wood inbetween the tyre and damage and lever it out a bit to stop it fouling.
Or whip the wheel off and get a hammer on it

 

[Scotty-boi]

Give us it here, I'll bend that arch back out

Could possibly have it for the right price. Probably worth more in bits though

 

[Pauleds]

Then a wash and a t cut to hide most of the damage

Are you on the look out for another when you get paid out

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

They compound is full haven't got any room for more French tins yet

 

[Scotty-boi]

Probably going to move on to something else Martin.
Need something a bit more sensible now I'm driving more. This was ok when I was doing minimal miles.
Pauleds.
I'm a bit of a finicky fucker. If it wasn't spot on I wouldn't be happy with it

 

[Mar172]

If you do buy it back to sell the parts can I have first dibs on the wheels .

Sounds like a diesel is on its way then!

Think you will get more back if you get a payout then buy it back and sell it on, so many would just use that as it is so would still get reasonable money for it as it is

 

[Scotty-boi]

That was going to be the plan if it's written off!
Get the pay out, buy it back.
Then see what someone would be willing to pay for the whole car. If it wasn't enough. I was going to break it. Know what it's worth in parts roughly.

 

[BIGASH]

Spot weld dent puller, dab of filler, spray and happy days

 

[Tony Hunter]

Lol,

 

[Scotty-boi]

Fair enough if it's on a track car.
But it was my daily. And I was pleased with how clean it was.
Could be the perfect track car for someone else.

 

[Bluebeard]

Buy it back (£200?)

Get your £1300 insurance payout.

Borrow a ratchet strap and pull it out yourself against a big van/lamppost

Drive car as is.

When you can be bothered, Spend £300 getting it repaired to an acceptable standard; You've done the hard work by pulling it out.

Keep £1000 for a rainy day.

A thank ya.

 

[BIGASH]

Lol,

Haha I was going to mention yours being worse and didn’t get repaired Inconsiderate c**ts

 

[Tony Hunter]

Sorry, it was aimed at James not you. Private joke.

 

[RenMatt]

Wish I could get half of the £1800 Quote for doing this , would be a massive earner & for that price you could even put on a new rear quarter panel Were the hell do these insurance clowns get there quotes from ?

That's what they were saying about doing.
Said the crease would not pull properly, so would require new panel

 

[Ex-User (99307)]

That would come out, anyone worth their salt with a slide hammer and shrinking hammer could save that panel.

 

[tonyd106]

Our panel beater would have that fixed in else than a day, he may even be interested in the car if it's the right price.

 

[Scotty-boi]

I will see what happens when the insurance get back to me, could even be worth my while moving it on!

 

[Scotty-boi]

So, car is a cat C write off.
I've not had much luck with this car, so I'm getting rid either way.
Don't know if someone wants to offer me something for the whole car.
If I don't sell it. It shall be broken. Worth plenty in bits.

 

[danward]

Unlucky mate. If I were you I'd be tempted to see what a few places would charge to fix it - might not be as expensive as you think. Seems you are pretty set on selling though. What have you got lined up next?

 

[ilovewilly]

I was just going to reply saying that's likely to be a Cat C.

I took in a Cat C 306 last month to break - Was about the same sort of damge as that. Reason for it being a C over a D was the wheel catching it. I pulled it with my hands and tbh, I had people stood next to it wondering what was actually wrong with it until I pointed it out.

 

[Scotty-boi]

It doesn't catch the wheel or anything. Been driving it not problem.
Yea pretty set on getting rid. Don't know what I will get next. May be back one day when I have a bit more time on my hands. I'm not interested in getting it sorted. Ploughed too much money into it already.

 

[Amos91]

Shame mate. Hopefully see you about!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Scrooge ???

Get your piggybank out...

Perfect track car imo

How's the shed??
