My line got backed into on the drivers front side. :D

Lady hit my car on the drivers front 1/4, scraped the door, and did some damage to the side bar too...

I need a crash repairer in the north eastern suburbs to get to do my car (i get choice of repairer), as it has to be local.

Anyone recommend a place that will do top line work? Its insurance job, so i aint paying for it.

Id also like to see how much to respray the car maybe (as it needs it). Any ideas how much to get the extra done?

For a top job, see Des Higgins at Parafield. (Probably the best in SA)

If you want the whole car resprayed at the same time (and you have to pay for it) it would cost a fortune with Des, but if the insurance company will pay I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Yep, Des won't respray your car unless you're prepared to do the whole lot, bare metal. TOP class work, but may not be North Eastern enough.

I had some work done at Golden Grove Crash on Golden Grove Road a few years ago that I was happy with. Matched metallic paint very well. Was only one panel though.

Thanks guys. I have heard of Des before, and parafield is pretty close so i'll give him a call.

Id like the whole car done. Its hard to colour match the other panels when the rest of the car is faded :D Damn previous owners backyard job.

Wonder if i can get em to put on some gtr front 1/4 panels :(...

I might ring the insurer and see if i can take it anywhere in Adelaide if i cant find somewhere close thats good.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
