Cheers!

Trying to ring a few peoples

JRacing

Tony Farrugio (recommended by most) - they said they dont do imports and are booked out till october :(

Prestige Auto - they say r34 parts are hard to come by but will have a look this week

Yet to call Naz at KMF

Anymore recommendations ? They need to have ties with Suncorp aparently or Suncorp won't do it

Ill give them a call thanks Shell

I know a left hand quarter panel would be easy to source can even find on eBay but the headlights are hard to find (new ones that is). Will insurance guys go with brand new ones or they wouldn't matter if they got used ones, or can i argue that the used ones wont be bright enough due to being more dull :P

hmmm a nice lady basically told me to try other places as they are booked out. i said no worries then she say they may take 3 days to do a quote ? i said no worries so she say i should try other places first :(

This is a lot harder than i thought it would be !!!

My friend at Shannons (ie Suncorp) suggests Canberra Automotive Refinishers in Belco

I have dealt with these guys before as they are a Shannons recommended repairer.

In the interest of not saying anything bad, I won't. But...

:spank: no, I won't. :whistling:

hmmm a nice lady...

Suncorp is going to have a look tomorrowski at my car. Is there any recommended preperations that need to be done ? Putting stock coilovers back in etc or removal of any mods in case they say its this and that which caused this dent therefore its not our fault. I waxed and polished it to make it look neat like i care about the car but thats all i can think of. Just needing some advice so all damages that were caused by the lady are repaired. Thanks

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
