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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
