GTR-N1 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 hahaa... The Mazda 2 with $9K damage will have it's roof replaced. Is this car worth keeping afterwards? I suppose it depends on how it's performed but have you heard of pros and cons?

Daleo Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 hahaa... The Mazda 2 with $9K damage will have it's roof replaced. Is this car worth keeping afterwards? I suppose it depends on how it's performed but have you heard of pros and cons? Terry, when Shell's car got hit a few years ago; LMSR replaced the entire RHS of the car. Both doors, B pillar, cant rail, sill panel, rear quarter/C pillar new rhsr strut, hub and rim. There was nothing on the entire side of the car. Every panel Bill removed, the straighter the shell became. Set up on their table the shell was perfect. Rebuilt, they reckoned that it was better than it was brand new. 12 months later; I'd defy anyone to pick the repairs. More than 6 years down the track we haven't had a single issue with the repairs or even with the way the car wheel aligns. Done right; it will be perfect. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454699-hail-friggin-mess/page/5/#findComment-7513524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daleo Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 "Done right" being the key words..... There's the expectation that you would only be utilising a trusted repairer for a job like this. I'd no more trust a dodgy panel repairer, than I would a dodgy mechanic with any of my cars. Over the years I've cultivated a healthy relationship with my repairer, and that's why I had no hesitation with them undertaking such an extensive repair. Shell was very doubtful that they could repair it completely, so he invited Shell & I down to see the car when it was completely stripped of the damaged structure. He then hung all the structural members on the shell in front of her to demonstrate how straight the body was.

Daleo Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 At least the most critical parts have been done well; the rest, while a bit disappointing, isn't the end of the world. Hope the get the finer details sorted quickly Tez. When does the Mazda go in?
