You could always try Tony Ferugia (I think that's how you spell it).

He works on all the prestige cars in Canberra, I hear he's one of the best.

I'll 2nd Mivec's post-Farugia's is the top place in Canberra(only licenced Porsche/Lambo/BMW repairer,from memory,and they wont just send their cars to anyone...),but they have been known to be picky about what they'll work on.If "stupid offender" is paying for the damage,I'd be off to see Farugia's in a flash.If she's not paying(ie:you are),I'd still save and go and see Tony and his crew if I were you...

Was said "stupid offender" insured?Did she give a damn what she'd done?Don't let her off,even if she is a 5'8" blond Norwegian backpacker fresh from a stint in the adult industry...oh,sorry;that's a fantasy of mine getting in the way,again!

Dave Smash Repairs in Queanbeyan... a few forum members have used that place and the result has always been excellent.

Depends on how busy Farugia is as to wether or not they will take your car, their prioritys lie with the more exotic automobiles availible unfortunately.

Thanx guys..

She stuck around, was very sorry and all the rest.. Told me she had insurance... rang me this morning and told me her insurance ran out 3days ago.. so yea.. Out of her pocket by the looks of things.

Saw you drive past Dayne.. you prob wouldnt of seen anything as its front damage.. The bar is pretty screwed.. i hope it can be repaired.

My biggest worry is the matching of the paint... i dont want a diff colour car at the front to the back.

Thanx for your help guys

didnt you say you wanted a full re-spray anyways. maybe this is a perfect opportunity she can pay for half you can pay for the other half.

Whoa there buddy, lets not be tooooo hasty until all of the options have been explored...there might be opportunities for car and driver alike...

'Ya Helga, und I bet zat mine varm and newly resprayed bonnet vill not make your naked butt cheeks shiver under zat thin dress ven you are sitzen on him. Oh...und dis ist mine new front piece, I am zinking you would like to be polishing him by ze rubbing upen und downen after you are getting me a beeren, YES?'.

SkyGTRline sorry to hear your car got hit that's shitty cards. Farrugia is good. Depending on your insurance company you can nominate the repairer but you might have to wait for 3 weeks to get in. I've also had good results with Grace in Fyshwick - straight and easy to deal with, they did a great job on a long scrape in the LH rear 1/4 of a Bravo, charcoal metallic - good finish, good colour etc. As for matching a lot of them will say they can't. Move on. It's never impossible, any colour can be matched, they just have to know how. Problem is a lot of repairers just use digital colour matching now rather than matching by eye. You are obviously proud of the car. Be relentless in your search. Time for a silver flame job on the nose? :D

man thats gayer than aids! really sorry to hear it!!!

tony is, hands down, the best in canberra. if its any idea of his work, ferrari, lambo, porsche, among many others, send their cars from all over australia to his shop. rest assured, it'll be as close to perfect as can be.

but realistically, i'd hazard a guess that he "might" turn your car away. he usually only does insurance work/prestige/euro work. your average kitted beast is not where he pitches himself in the marketplace so don't be offended if he says no....

new gel are a pack of wank3rs imo. and while jerry's a top block, specify you don't want a front bar made out of bog if he does the work :(

prestige and athol morris would be my other suggestions.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • 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.
