R33line, $9K damage? must be alot worse than it looks. have you had any luck with the council yet etc?

That was a rough quote, should get the final one in the next few days..

Bent the chasi a little, and from the radiator forward needs to be replaced. (headlights are $500 each)

Most of the quote is labour and they know i'm going through the council so they will drag as much fom the government as possible, not to menchion i asked for a couple of extras including a cf bonnet and the choice of a front bar, and don't forget the front mount........ screw the RTA they can compensate for my loss...

not to mention the mental damage from seing it in a mess

:yes:

Its irelivent as you don't have insurance. If you had insurance and the cost of the repairs are worth more than the car its then considered a write-off. In your case... The car has to be fixed or your in trouble as the car loan requires you to have full comp insurance.

I was told by my insurance company these cars don't have a market value and they need to be inspected individually.

      Rusty roof repair

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
