Im looking for a relatively cheap/decent smash repair to fix up my r32... ive called heaps of places from the consolidated workshop thread but no one is much help unless they can see the car, and from the rough quotes ive been told they are wanting at least 2-3g which seems a rip off to me considering the same ppl that quoted me 3-4k, fixed up my mates written off sil (his chassis was damaged hard, drifted sideways into a pole...) for 2.5k and it looked good as new

anyways heres a few pics of the damage to my car, anyone in the know have any idea how much it would cost?

can anyone recommend a cheap smash repair that would be able to fix it?

ive got a new bonnet, new bumper and headlights... just need a reo bar and guards for parts...

thx for any help

yeah ive called all the smash repair places listed in there... none can really give me a rough quote without seeing the car and i cant be bothered driving it all over the joint with all the panels stripped trying to get a good quote... thats why im asking if anyone knows which place will do a good deal and wont try and take me on a trip up the river

To be fair it's hard for someone to quote from pics.

Any price would be subject to seeing the car

Mine is going to Gnangara Smash and Rust Repairs next week.

They seemed fair with pricing etc and were nice to deal with.

Will confirm how it goes end of next week.

You could try them

yeah i figured that, but im not keen to drive a half naked r32 around perth getting different quotes :laugh: cos by this arvo, the guard, bonnet, headlight, bumper and reo bar will all be taken off...

a mate of mine said i should just strip it down, drive it there, ask them JUST to straighten it, and ill fit all the other parts up and get it painted elsewhere... seems most of the price would be for labour and painting... dunno. the guy from CK Lee smash repair is coming round saturday morning to give me a quote

I think if your not prepared to take the car to show repairers to quote it accurately, then expect them not to care too much and quote high.

if one quotes you $1000 and then the bill comes to $3000, then you need to cop that on the chin as they never saw what it was they were working with anyway.

Quoting damage repair with out seeing is something almost all repairers wont do.

    • 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.
