Just got rear ended. Cars still drivable, not too damaged, no broken lights, but the boot doesn't close properly.

Anyone have any recommendations for smash repairers? preferably on the north side? I was thinking of going to Fuller brothers in belco? Anyone been to them?

Thanks for the tips

Sorry wouldn't go anywhere near Canberra Automotive refinishers, last time I went there, had to get it redone, and wasn't really happy with their work. I am going to try Belconnen auto refinishers though.

Thats crap Chris... Try Prestige in Hume very very good they did my sides after some f**ked keys had been run down them.

U must be one of the lucky ones, they did my car when it was side swiped, they buffed it so much that you can see where the paint burnt, they refused to fix it. It wasnt part of the quote, and yes they did it for free, but i wasnt expecting them to ruin the paintwork.

Let me know how it goes. I got a quote from them for $1500 to respray my front and rear bumpers.... I felt it was a bit of a rip-off but if they do a good job it might be worth it.

Thats steep, it cost me $500 in Darwin for front and back on my (stock) dark metallic blue N15 Pulsar SSS. If it can be done for that cheap in Darwin, then no one has any excuse down here since darwin is 5-10% dearer than anywhere else in oz.

It was something to do with having to buy chrome strips as the ones already on the bumpers can't be removed and replaced? I'm going take the bumpers apart myself soon and just get them repainted without getting charged for R&R

Picked up the car on Friday, can't fault them on the work, color match looks to be nearly spot on. I'd use them again, I was disappointed with their customer service though, didn't keep me up to date with delays, but I can live with that. Ended up costing 1000 to fix the rear guard dent, rhd rust patch and fit the new front bar, the rest was payed by the other party.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
