sorry mate dont think its being broke as of now but if it is will let you know

 

[A18XHO]

If it goes through the insurance i think they'll just write it off. How much is your excess? and how many ncb do you have

 

[jamie.91]

its deffo not going through the insurance and i have forgoth the exess but its a lot and no yrs ncb

I smashed my Corsa into the back of a Merc 2 weeks after passing my test. At 18, i ony got a 1.2 Dynamique now and my insurance is 1600 so maybe go through insurance, i expected mine 2 hit the roof cuz im ony 19.

Best of luck with the car though.

 

[A18XHO]

it depends how much hes excess is and how much they will give him for it. If they only give him like a grand for it and hes excess is £500 then he'll only get £500 for it. Might not be worth it but you got nothing to loose, youve got no no claims anyway

 

[jamie.91]

i know but i need my no claims bonus this year so it comes down next year because i cant afford 2200 quid again and my mate claimed last year in the same situation as me and his insurance has gone from 1800 quid to 3500 quid lol

jamie

 

[jamie.91]

im am in collage and i have a dentist appointment later so no progress today but after further inspection the zorst (standard) is snapped in like 2 or 3 places so some major patching up or a new zorst will be needed soon, back to the scrappy lol

£2k for a 1.2 at 17?
I'm 18 and pay £600 a year for my 1.4Si (And I have no NCB)

Shame about the car, hope there is no chasis damage or very little, that'll cost a bomb!

(Oh and btw collage is spelt college, sorry for Nazi-ing)

 

[jamie.91]

fella, nice one for doing the work yourself its going too save you a fortune....

On another note mate I would really reconsider how you are holding the car in the air, the bricks don't look particularly steady, especially on the left, and there isn't even a support board to stop them from sinking - which they probably will!! Mate please sort it out, if that f*cker falls on you your car problems will be the last of your worries!

 

[jamie.91]

live life on the edge lol

and the blocks were railway sleepers, they were going nowhere or else i wouldnt have been going under them lol i rocked the car like hell to test it before i went under it lol

jamie

 

[jamie.91]

thanks for all the comments, there great, but honestly when i started i didnt realy know what i was doing as i had never changed an axle before and especialy never done one on my own lol but i managed it.

[jamie.91]
