Need A Good Crashie & Deacent Pods

[J_Red33]

Hi guys well as it was stated, today I was rear ended on my way to the gym from work. Crept forward a bit at an intersection (lights were out of action) before stopping again to give way & I got smacked up the back.

I've had it on my list of things to do to get some pods for the rear & since it's gonna have to get fixed its time to get the pods done while I'm at it. Also may get a lip if my budget permits. Does anyone have some suggestions of where to go to get a deacent pair?

Also don't want to go back to the repairer that I went to before (they screwed most of my boot trim as well as just generally not really giving a toss) ) & have a list of a few of the preferred repairers from my insurer (Shannons):

S&L crash repairs (Tonsley)

Welland crash repair (Welland)

Glenelg Crash (Somerton Park)

Cole Crash (City)

Sitters & Fisher (City)

If anyone has any opinions on these repairers or suggestions of other good repairers (I'll see if they are listed) it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

sitters and fisher ANYDAY of the week

bad luck with the rear-ender

[J_Red33]

Sounds good, will pay them a visit tomorrow since they're not far from work.

With as far as the pods go, I've seen something of there being GTR style ones available. I've actually got GTR type side skirts (though only fibreglass at the moment) & would like to keep the look uniform so it'd be good if I could source some of these

Ah man that sucks, hope you get it all sorted and comes back better than ever!

[nisskid]

M&C Doyle, most people from SA on ns.com will tell u they are awsome, they specialise in these car, and after recently (currently) dealing with, i will do the same. i recomend them X10000000

go on ns.com and search any crash thread in the SA section, and almost every recomendation will be for M&C.

anyways, yeh go there.

[J_Red33]

Now that name does sound familiar I will check it out for sure.

Will definanltely make a point of seeing if they're on Shannons list & I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Cheers mate

EDIT:

Now I remember where I've heard of them Marky at ET's tied in with them & the drifting DUHH

sad too hear man glad to hear all is well and youll be getting it repaired on insurance

did my picaso in your boot get destroyed

You cant go wrong with Des Higgins, he is on Shannons list (I used him).

Panels were all beaten straight and lead whiped, their craftsmanship is hard to find anywhere in the Country. His workshop is out near Parafield Airport, si it might be a bit of a trip.

i think my mate uses him does his sons have skylines? either way if its him he is pro

[4door_Sleeper]

Dont think his sons have lines (they would have to be 40+ anyway)

He has also painted Willals silver drag GTR

[J_Red33]

Yeah I went to the trouble with my last crashie of going out the other side of town only to get a botched job done. They shall remain nameless unless someone starts talking them up.

Been on the NS website as NissKid suggested & yes there were pleanty of recommendations for Doyle crash. Gonna verify if they are listed tomorrow. Thanks for the other suggestions though appreciated

If I had a Picaso of yours mate it'd travel 1st class in the back seat

Soon as I get my crash repairer & some pods soughted out I'll be getting it fixed ASAP, won't have the egg mark those wankers down at Henley Beach made not long after I got it resprayed too

yeh they deal with heaps of the drift cars, and show cars etc.

today i had mike (the M in M&C) looking at my 2 doors on my passenger side (4dr obviously) and saying how they were completely different colours, he was explaining it all and i could not see one difference. hes got a serious eye for that shit.

id say he would be on shannons list, he deals with alot of old-school cars aswell as all the imports he does.

Well I've been to visit him today & that place is just Nissan central. Only a little joint, but sometimes I think thats a good thing. No big corporation dollar bill syndrome (I know that too well).

I don't know that he was on the list, but I don't have to go with who shannons recommend anyway.

Mike checked out my car & he appreciated the condition it was in (looking through the dirt it had on it from some really crappy rain) & he also gave me a deacent price for respraying my egged panel.

Now I need to find some pods. Any suggestions will be appreciated

[Madaz]

when you say him u mean where

and call me a noob wot do u mean by pods

[nisskid]

they are a small attachment u add onto ur standard body kit. like this:

oi, did u see the grey 4dr r32 without the headlight etc next to the office at M&C?

??? ???

Pods are the bit of the body kit that sit on the rear guards behind the wheeles. (the continuation of the side skirts)

[nisskid]

yes they are......and???

thats what i said in a different way, he's talking about getting aftermarket ones, u can also get them for the side skirts and front bumper aswell.

Not sure I understand this bit. A pod on a side skirt?

[nisskid]

unfortunately yes:
