Tree Crash

[R33line]

R33line, $9K damage? must be alot worse than it looks. have you had any luck with the council yet etc?

That was a rough quote, should get the final one in the next few days..

Bent the chasi a little, and from the radiator forward needs to be replaced. (headlights are $500 each)

Most of the quote is labour and they know i'm going through the council so they will drag as much fom the government as possible, not to menchion i asked for a couple of extras including a cf bonnet and the choice of a front bar, and don't forget the front mount........ screw the RTA they can compensate for my loss...

not to mention the mental damage from seing it in a mess

hows it all going maTE have u heard from council

[R33line]

If all goes well and they agree to pay up, i hope for them to start on the car before xmas so it'll be ready for a cruise i'm to organise with some mates...

Will post it on the site when we come to a conclusion....

so far we are leaving bathurst on the 13th/14th of january to wisemans ferry via bells line amd somewhere from there.... hopes to be a good day, but if anyone knows of a good place to travel from wisemans (eg. the coast) let us know soon cause we will be posting something in the next week or 2

Hey guys,

Got the quote after 2 weeks and it is $11,661.

alot more than i expected, but the question i need to know is what is the market value for a 93 model series 1 R33 with 106,000km????.............. just curious cause i still got a large loan on the car.

The Silver R32 GTR from WA in the last post, was the result of horsing around in a fairly powerful GTR coming around a corner in 2WD and Planting ones foot... Had some guys in the car egging him on... Dont think he had it that long

Its irelivent as you don't have insurance. If you had insurance and the cost of the repairs are worth more than the car its then considered a write-off. In your case... The car has to be fixed or your in trouble as the car loan requires you to have full comp insurance.

I was told by my insurance company these cars don't have a market value and they need to be inspected individually.

r33 line was it a car loan? or personal loan????/

[_8OO5TED_]

id say a personal loan, as most secured car loans require paid full comprehensive insurance.

R33line, that pic of your car sitting on the log explains it a little better.

Yer mines started to get a little rust around the back window.

Bastard about it is the ever so small bubble appeared ~6months after it was re-sprayed.

~1000 to fix.

i got quoted 500 bucks to fix my rust around back window. bit on either side. and thats including the new rear window seal.

any updates geoff

[R33line]

Latest news is the rta has replied and said "YOUR CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IS BEING INVETIGATED AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"....... So i'll jog their memory and give them a ring in the next couple of days......... Don't think i'll be lucky enough to get the car back for our cruise to wisemans though kane.. just be goin up with Zeb.

When I was leaving Bathurst, I had my eye on those trees....watching carefully!
