[Charles89]

I had a little accident yesterday....it was wet and rainy... slammed on the brakes... slided...BANG!...

sigh.......

anyway, i was wondering if anyone has some silver s2 parts for sale around here....

ill need a new bonnet, front bar+foggys, left headlight, left front guard....

[{TUBZ}]

go wreakers around the campbellfield area there are plenty mate...

bad luck bro!! what did you hit??

[Jamezilla]

That's a f*cking huge toe!

[jake33]

keep checking the 4sale section. people love wrecking skylines in there

bad luck man. i would be pulling my hair out!

[Charles89]

i smacked into a tree.....luckily i wasnt speeding, or else the impact woulda been WORSE.

would it be better to get parts from wreckers? or from people? coz i heard that wreckers over charge u...

but right now, i really cant afford postage for the bonnet, bumper etc....thats why im trying to find some1 selling it locally, so i can pick it up with cash

[Mavric]

That's a f*cking huge toe!

LOL James ur humor cracks me up....

good luck with the repairs mate.

[{TUBZ}]

try to get off here, but if you cant get off a wreaker, but yeah they do over charge sometimes

[Spunky Munky]

Sorry to see that mate... I only banged the back of my car and that nearly made me cry in terror... I feel for you.... look on the bright side, it's all cosmetics... will be expensive to fix, but slowly you will get it all fixed... it's not totally impossible!

Jump on www.yellowpages.com.au and look up some local wreckers... remember to bargain down heaps as they're really expensive sometimes!

Good luck.

And oh, you didn't have full comprehensive insurance?? IF so, claim on that... it will end up be cheaper!

Get 2-3 more quotes then

You'll soon see the price variation (if any).

Remember, good work costs good money. Its as simple as that with panel work

[Helio]

Bad luck buddy. Depending on the damage that you cant see in the pic 3 to 5 k. As Ash said get a few more quotes. Try Micolour - Cheltenham or DT Panels - Springvale.

actually, i did go to DT, the guy said that if i can provide all the parts, he can fix it for just 650 labour, but he only had a glance over the car, not sure if he saw allll the damage.....

[sloutch]

if your chassis is bent, it won't be 'road worthy'. It'll cost quite a bit to repair it. Not sure how they do it, straightening it perhaps?

Besides getting those parts, maybe you might want to invest in a better set of tyres as well to prevent this from happening again.

That's a f*cking huge toe!

.....and its so white!!

Anyway, is it a series II? Why it doesn't have ABS?

You guys gotta be real carefull with the cheap lines that don't come with ABS, it help alot in the rain.

[Charles89]

yea its a series 2 but its a gts.....so no abs...

but i could get 1 put in later on yea?

Nah mate, if it doesn't come with it, then don't worry about putting one on as its a waste of $$$$. You'd need to change the ECU, all the shocks ......ect.

[Charles89]

ah ok....

but hmm...does $650 for labour sound okay? or is it too cheap?

[foznice]

I think 650 is pretty good. But thats just from me. I'm no panel beater.

Keep getting quotes and you'll get to see what other people are charging for labour.
