Accident damage - thoughts on extent of repair?
- Thread starter DreamingT6s
- Start date
I'm no expert but pretty sure any decent body shop could sort that out quite easily without welding anything. 'Tis but a flesh wound. Interested to see other responses.
If I did that to my van, I would most likely take it to a reputable body shop for a quote before involving my insurance (also Just Kampers). Most of it looks like it could probably be knocked out and repainted with minimal use of filler.
Bodyshop can sort that without any internal work or replacement panels.
Quite naughty., but repairable. Looks like there's a belly on the 1/4, so once that has been reversed should be a 10-15 hour repair. Like its been said above would see the price before going down the insurance route and check out some good independent bodyshops. I would say a good repair should come around the £800 mark as a middle figure.
it needs a rear quarter and a sliding door amongst other things.
its a 4 or 5 grand repair ,,,,
do you want it back full of catty plastic repair ?
no of course not..
if its less than than 5 years old ,insurance job or write it off

1000 to 2000 is not a quote or estimate , its just keys typed into a keyboard
Sorry didn’t realise I was precisely quoting this job and carrying out the repair in my shed. My new guesstimate is £1497,99 + VAT
Ah, using the medium of just keys typed into a keyboard to decry just keys typed into a keyboard. Touche Sir!
ehhh?
you do know what touchee means ,dont you?
Yeah the problem is finding a good shop with decent equipment. If pulled right shouldn't need more than 5mm of filler across so it would just flex and not crack.The 10-15 hours i said is what i would want to pull and fill it. if it went to a mainstream bodyshop, the cost of the paint and materials would be around £600 alone so there can be a big fluctuating cost between indy and main shops.
Touche; used as an acknowledgement during a discussion of a good or clever point made at one's expense by another person.
But with two e's, who knows?
You didn't precisely quote lol.
You randomly typed
Ahhh yes. Still quoting the Internet it seems.
Normally you copy and paste others work without any acknowledgement.
Plagiarism when I was a lecturer
Stanley Touchee... Touchee Feely... or Touchee ma wife, I breaka you face?
I'd repair that for £1650 if I could find my T Cut.
The insurance rang today and are going to give me £1935.95 as a payment in lieu
