Heh, funniest part about this to me is the fact that I've been meaning to sell it for a couple of months now.

I can only really take this as a really obvious sign to follow through with that plan... Whether it be get it repaired and sell it off that way, or sell to a wreckers.

And you're definitely right - It's just money. The poor car was getting wasted sitting at home, it would only get driven occassionally on weekends, so it wasn't really worth keeping it around - better to give it a better home.

Shame about that now :stupid:

And yeah, I'm a strong believer in karma as well, so I feel no real need to get back at the guy - Only to get money out of him and leave the rest alone if that's even possible.

Appreciate everything you've said, mate.

It really helps. More than you might think :)

You got a strong character mate... you'll be right... come back to me if you ever lose an arm or a leg... otherwise... it ain't no thang... right? hi hi hi hih i.... take it easy bro... worry about it, but don't let it get to you... did you know that 10 people have died on the roads since last Thursday..? So person was eating, breathing and living this time last week, now they're 6 feet underground... that's life for you... it's only money... remember that... chin up bro!

Go to the General discussions thread... you'll find out that I too have not been too lucky!

Regards,

Kevin

Yo I had recently had my car stolen on Chistmas nite after owning it for two weeks damn .three days later the car was found by the cops and it had major roof damge just like yours the car was a mess with parts missing and wiers all choped up I only had third party insurance so i only got $5ooo back.

My old man is an ex pannel beater and he said to me to take out the inside interior and then kick the roof back out with your foot and see if you can poop the roof back out so i did . It wasnt perfact but It looked much better as it took shape again then I glued the inner roof supports with a special kind of bond and held it up with cut down broom sticks.The result was suprisingly good and all it needed now was a simple bog up job that any pannel beater can do . So if your happy to try that you have nothing to loses as the roof is already wreaked and you might get lucky like me and save over $5000 in repairs.

Hey guys,

Got home this morning after a night out and noticed some bastards from a party across the road decided to use my R33 as a trampoline... Not happy!

roofdamage.jpg

Now, as far as I can tell, the rest of the bodywork is okay... But this roof looks like it's just been turned almost completely inside out :P

Any ideas on how much to get this fixed, or if it's repairable?

If so, any ideas on where to get it done not too expensively in the Western Sydney area, and what would be involved?

Thanks guys :(

Dude... your damage is MINIMALLLL

Don't let the posts in here scare you. Believe me, that job would be fixed with $1.5 or say $2k and I'm being generous here. I AM 100% SURE you can get that thing fixed for much cheaper if you shop around, ask some panel beaters.

Your car didn't roll over or anything, only some wankered pushed the panel/roof inside. It's nothing.. A panel beater can fixed that in only one day in a few hours.

Some of the posts in here are really exaggerated, your damage is nothing structural.. Only body damage.

I've really been thinking about that... I'll go get quotes for the actual repairs tomorrow, then have at it with a bit of wood and a rubber mallet, see if I can make it a bit better, then take it back for quotes :closedeyes:

You reckon? If I could get it fixed for that, I'd be laughing... Oh well, as above, I'll take it down to get checked out tomorrow, get it checked out by a few places, get some quotes.

I would be ecstatic if you were right :whistling: hehe.

:rant::D:thumbsup:

thats just fcukin disgraceful! Imagine if it was a convertible or something....def get the neighbours to pay for the damage. Get the most expensive quote you can get (that should teach them not to have wild homosexual parties in your street). Then sell it to the wreckers or something.

Fkin hate it when people have no respect for other peoples property. My fckin ex's friends decided to put maccas shit on my car and through my car's antenna. Ok, it was not my skyline, and it wasnt damage as such - but anyone who disrespects other peoples property really get my blood boiling. Spoke to my ex in the most calm tone - but if she wasnt going to go and talk to the fckers, i would have had a word next time i saw them. They were a bunch of drunk mofos who thought they can own everything.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
