Oh good god! It's always painful Jim to see such a well looked after car suffer like that. What is it going to cost you? Going the same colour I assume?

Insurance is $620 excess and in total I will have to pay another $3000 for the extra work.. Colour will be little different, flow coated like before but using House of Color paint this time.
Really pissed off didn't need this right now :/
The panel shop said don't stress we will fix every little dent on the car, I informed him to find any lol he couldn't the paint was perfect. It will come up better this time but like I said I didn't need this right now, it's chucked a spanner in the works of my plans of 1.5jz with a T04z setup this will have to wait till I get the car back which looks like to be in a months time . Maybe more, I getting a Loan car from the panel shop which helps
I remember in my 350z I hit someone in Safeway shopping centre and I hung around for 30 min for the owner of the car I hit to come out so I could change details and do the right thing. I think that sort of respect for others property is hard to find today

Just had my drivers side lock replaced and door and rear guard repainted after a thief failed to break in so keyed up the car on his way to the next one... $1000 damage - $300 excess for me - the paint shop was excellent though, they removed all the paint chips from where some asshole had sprayed the side of my car with metal while doing a burnout in a carpark years ago, and gave the car a fairly decent detail before returning it to me.

Ive been sideswiped twice while parked. One done a runner, the other one wrote their car off. Involved a 10 month repair to fix and respray. no insurance first time and ended up paying for most of it second time as insurance wouldnt pay for most of the damaged parts. Feel your pain mate.. I feel your pain!!
