I have to check Maria's Volvo in a few mins as it was too dark to look last night.

But my Mum's Mazda 2 looks like a golf ball.

...taken by a friend from my church. I believe that as well as Faulconbridge and West Springwood, Bilpin got hit.

* Edit:- Sorry, wrong section. Time to check Volvo now...

my old N/A that got COMPLETELY f**ked by hail.

The roof is complete bog hahahaha

new bonnet,

new boot,

new front and rear windshields,

fresh paint.

Was not fun. all from hail about that size Terry.

the hail literally went straight through the rear windshield. Didn't even crack the glass, it punctured through like a hole punch.

This was recorded about 4 houses down. The storm that did the damage.

I haven checked yet still at work if its that bad but im only assuming it is :( benifits of being in the car game though i know one of the paintless dent removers out

If you got hail the size Terry showed, and your car is outside, it be completely f**ked im sorry to say.

These are a couple from a friend who lives 3 doors down the street from us;

I was still at work, so the Stagea is fine, but when Shell heard the hail, she raced out to bring her car up into the garage.

Stepped outside and promptly got beaned in the head by a large hailstone, and in the shoulder by another.
Retreated to the house, and rode it out.

Her car was under a very leafy tree and this appears to have dampened the impact, but we still have at least 20 deep dents all over her little Mazda.
It was covered in shredded leaf litter, and a couple of large tree branches.

We're insured with Shannons, and they were great to deal with; they'd notified my repairer before I'd even had a chance to ring & arrange an inspection.

It's not insured for much; I think they'll probably total loss the car, and pay us out. Ideally they'll leave us with the car, and limit us to 3rd party for the future.

This would suit me, as we're about 6-12 months from replacing the car anyway; I don't want to have to purchase a new car right now.

I can't imagine what yours must look like Terry; at least we had a bit of protection from the tree.

Ok damage report new windscreen massive crack on it 2-3 massive dents on roof and quite a few smaller one same goes for bonnet and boot. Now claim insurance or get my dent repairer mate for a cashie

PDR is pretty advanced these days.

My jeep grand was hit all sides a couple of years ago. They repaired it completely with PDR for less than $5k within 5 business days.

The repair was fantastic and you couldn't tell it was ever damaged.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
