I really hate the way that tray utes seem to be able to do this and extend the rear tray way beyond the rear bumber...

At the least the body builders should have to extend the rear bumper so it is in line with the end of the tray... I know that this is the law in EU... from a rear crash safety point of view it is scary to think that the tray is already half way up your bonnet before your front bumper hits their rear bumper...

Actually, that's a very valid point. Just think about all the road deaths/injuries that occur when a car slams into the back of a truck's trailer. It's similar, but on a smaller scale.

Parked in the uni carpark in June, some kid back out and dented and scratched the front passenger fender and front bar, and scratched the rim. Luckily he was a good kid, left a note saying to go see

I once reversed into a bollard that was ever-so-slightly out of vision (not to mention that I was tired and just wanted to get home out of the heat), and when I got the scratch in the bumper repaired

That's the exact reason why all trucks (in Australia) are legally required to have a "load step" as the rearmost point of trailer or load area. It isn't required in the US and causes hundreds of deat

It isn't required in the US and causes hundreds of deaths with cars submarining under the trailer. The first thing that stops the car is the rear set of wheels; and the passenger cabin is already under the trailer, and the driver is missing their head.

Yeah just Lapsed on my insurance so can't claim on that. This is going to have to come out of my pocket

When the 25G got smashed I had Third Party Fire and Theft Cover with NRMA. Because I had it taken home and I stripped the front down to get a quote to fix Nrma said the Insurance was voided.

Guess who has changed ALL Home, Car and CTP to RACQ>

wow, its really disapointing to read all these, whilst they make me feel a little better regarding mine its shocking how many people get hit n run...

I had only owned mine for about 5 weeks when it was hit (and run) out the front of my house while i was at work. 2000 Pearl White S2 C34

Drivers side front - Takeros front bar all scracthed up and deep - front quarter pannel crumpled - frontwheel guard popped out - Takeros side skirt scratched (deep) and partially popped of the car, that was back in november, going thru insurance but still awaiting the quote for repairs... was told it wont be cheap due to being a pearl white.... very hard to match... got told ill have the quote next week sometime... that is after i took it in in dec 2014 for photos, then again in jan 2015 cause photo's were deleted.. accidentally.... cant wait till she is sitting pretty again.

Seems like every other time I get groceries, some fool has decided to park next to me and smash a nice graze or plug mark in one of my doors :rant:

Took photos of one of them with the offending vehicle and evidence of my blue paint on their door edge, Rego etc. Left a note, no response. reported to police.... they tried to track down the owner, but vehicle registered in NSW and it happened in VIC.. "no jurisdiction" .... VERY unhappy.

The guy that smashed them is probably the guy selling them on Ebay, lol.

How hard are they to remove?

My wreck has both, but I guess you need them in a hurry.

Haha, OK then, probably not a setup.

I'll climb in tomorrow afternoon & see what it will take to get them out. If easy enough I'm sure I could get them to you at a very fair price.

Mate that would be awesome if you could! Where are you located again? Is your in the Sydney area I could pic them up.

Yeah Dale a few months back someone scratched all up the side of mine looks like it was keyed. Someone clearly didn't like the noise it make when I start her up lol

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
