The crashed car!!!

[JAGR33]

Yeah, wanna see pics!!!!!

[Jamezilla]

Great news Troy!

[ylwgtr2]

how much did it cost you to fix it all up ?

Lost count....heres a quick run down from the top of my head

$2000 front

$1300 new bonnet

$1000 new front chassis rails

$450 new K frame

$110 new condensor fan shroud

$450 new left fender

$1000 paint materials

$1000 various new parts from nissan(windscreen moulds,full badge set,bonnet hinges,metal fender mounts,assorted bolts/fasteners and heaps of other crap

$2000 used parts...airflow meters,airbox assembly,radiator,condensor,aircon compressor+aircon pipes,airbags+module,dash pad,seatbelts,lower control arms plus heaps of small stuff

stuff that i have saved/repaired from the car are Driveshafts,right hand fender and left hand door was repaired,i broke the centre housing of front turbo but i had a spare one and had to buy a replacement compressor wheel $200....some of the engine pulleys were damaged so i made some up....the engine had shifted about 30 degrees to the right therefore smashing a hole in the GReddy inlet manifold(it hit the brake booster)Just welded it up and linished it back.

Other stuff i have added on are not really smash related such as engine parts etc with the exception of a Trust intercooler which was needed but i spose i didnt really need an aftermarket jobby......Oh and beleive it or not i managed to save the original front bumper cover!A friend had a good left hand side and i had a good right,so i cut it in half and welded it togetherI guess i have spent roughly 10k??I have been rather anal in assembling replacing stuff thats only scratched or dirty bolts ect

[funkymonkey]

best 10k that ever got spent on a car I reckon... hey troy, quick question, are you covered by insurance on the repairs seeing as it was the merc's (i think it was a merc, not sure) fault right?

[ylwgtr2]

no...i paid to fix my own car.....he fix his,i fix mine

[funkymonkey]

so you're 10k out of pocket? wasn't it his fault?

[LaL]

Man no offense but i dont think you smashed into a merc. you prob smashed into a tree or something but anyway its funny how you said he pays his i pay mine. no insurence company works like that. from the top of my head and many others. who evers fault it is REPAIRS anything damaged to both people.

for example if i get my corolla and runinto a lambo. he pays for his repairs and i walk away with a damaged up corolla ? hmm wierd man no offense!

[Jamezilla]

LaL: Nope - it was a Merc.

Was after AutoSalon last year in Sth Melb. Many of us saw the aftermath. E-Class if I recall...

[funkymonkey]

if it was a each man pays his own way then I'd assume it was both their faults and they didn't wanna get insurance involved.

[funkymonkey]

[ylwgtr2]

Duck dodgers also came back from the 24th and a half century and installed a few elctronic gadgets

[adznight]

[ylwgtr2]

ummm what help do you need?

[funkymonkey]

got the software, gettin a powerFC (got access to one for testing as well) need to make an interface for PowerFC to computer for software to us. Do you know much about Excel workshops in japan and the equipment they use? Or know anyone that can get me info on how to make an interface?

[ylwgtr2]

gohan i did get your pms,sorry i been a bit busy lately....however what your asking is a only a one off job for me and i would have to charge you a large sum....i understand more people may want the products but i am really not that interested in trying to get money out of people as most people want stuff done for a bowel of rice these days!Not saying you do,just not interested in making moulds and modifying them for such a job and then trying to work them

[ylwgtr2]

the only excel i know about is a hyundai....and the japs hate the koreans so there not that popular over there
