It'd be the truck driver who rear ended him worrying about insurance.

I'm actually amazed how many have been totaled already.

Saw one on eBay USA (....yeah), completely f**ked going for $16000 USD, was running, but the chassis, axles and wheels were all f**ked well beyond repair.

Steve on Anti-lag totaled one which eh kept for a parts car I believe.

Now this one the freeway? dunno if it was totaled or not.

Its a good thing theyre cheap compared to other super cars, and alot more in production, haha

All you fellas are immediately putting the blame on the truckie, but did you ever stop to think that he was just a victim of circimstance? Did any of you actually see it? Too many dickheads cut in front of trucks these days and then hammer the anchors and think "she'll be right..." then this sort of stuff happens. Not saying this is the case, but keep an open mind.

Yeah, especially on the Freeway, NoR, alot of wankers dont take into consideration the longer stopping distance for the heavy vehicle they just cut off in their 4WD/Tarago/Merc/BMW/R35 GTR. My point is that on the insurance papers, it will be the truck driver listed as fault, if he was cut off or not, which is f**ked.

Also agree, alot of super high performance vehicle onwers (ie R35 GTRs) cant be found on this forum, they only buy such cars to match their haircuts and sorrow because their ex wife got the kids, the house and the other 5 cars. Twats with way too much money and a little package.

Wrong the rules are slightly different if a truck hit you in the rear if it can be proven the car changed lanes in fnt of the truck the CAR is at fault

I know this as a few weeks ago a stupid bitch in a CLK Merc cut me off @ Stirling Hwy /Tydeman Rd lights and her insurance is footing the bill :)

My mate ran over the front of a Getz a few weeks back when the stupid young bitch tried to hammer past him down an onramp, he skipped down a couple of gears and then she realised what was about to happen (she was running out of room due to walls etc), grabbed the anchors and the car dove towards the truckjust infront of the the rear wheels, 2 sets of dualies across the bonnet.. best thing was there was a cop car behind him :)

P.S. was the CLK driver a hairdresser?:)

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
