Guest Conan Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Bugger. Hope it won't be too hard to get straight. I'm sure getting it straight again won't be an issue. Budgeting about 700-1000 quid I think. Which is not an issue either. The problem is no shop will do it before new year. I now know what gut wrenching means. But it'll be straight again very soon. Still drives okay though. Consolation is that no one was hurt (too badly). And that the car have seen action at this area before. The strut tower spot weld is all kinds of wonky before this happened. So at least it didn't happen to an entirely original car that hasn't been hit before. And the front bumper was kinda spotty from 29 years of rocks and debris, but it'll get a new one. I'm sure it'll look better than it was before when it's fixed. And it happened immediately after I'm getting new tie rod ends for it too. Because life is like that sometime.

Guest Conan Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I really appreciate all the support. Still kinda want to cry a little.

Shirley Knott Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 That doesn't look good chap, hopefully it's fixable About 10 years back I came out of a supermarket to find someone had driven into my newly acquired pride & joy/immaculate Mk2 MX5 crumpling the rear quarter and scratching every down a whole side. I'd owned it 2 days and paid circa £2.5k for it (Massive amount to me at the time), no note/nada Properly shit when cars get damaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conan Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm getting an estimate tomorrow. My many years of experience from watching Arthur Tussik videos is saying it's very much fixable. Shirley Knott and Parky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conan Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Got an estimate. 675 pounds all in. Shop promised it will be done properly by Friday. It'll look better than before the crash. I'm getting rear bumper repair as well. It's a speedy recovery. ProgRocker, LightBulbFun, Mrs6C and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
