Hi guys.

My girlfriend's dad just reversed out of the garage and into my front left wing (white R34 GTT). It is not bad just need a new wing. Can any one point me in the right direction? im guessing wreckers? he is not worried about the cost and told me to get a new panel rather than getting a panel beater try to fix it. what do you think would be the best thing to do? get a brand new panel or get one from a wreckers?

A wreckers if you can find an undamaged one in the white the same condition as yours as it would save the cost & time of paint. And make sure your gf doesn't split up with you any time soon :down:

if your looking for a new GTT R34 wing, PM Guy (SCR34M), his selling his one in white too.

when i had my FC RX7 my best friends mum reversed into my front drivers quarter panel with her BMW on her own driveway, i could barley open the door haha, anyway we went to the police station filed a report on what happened then it was all claimed on her insurance, and because it was done through insurance it went through a quality panel beaters and came out beaut :huh: they even picked up and delivered the car because i worked.

nah were not interested in going through the insurance. He is fine to just pay for it.

I think i must have called almost every wrecker in perth today and only found one with the panel (in silver though, so would deff need to be painted). they said it will cost $400+ a bit of a bloody rip off for a second hand panel if you ask me.

lol how much would a set of gtr ones cost just out of interest?

if you get the gtr guards you might aswell get the whole front changed so it can be painted at the same time. :)

lol nah i dont think so. I dont really want to be spending too much time or money on the car.

I just like the fact that it is a nice looking, easy to drive comfortable and fun car to drive.

I have decided unless i have somethin special like a GTR i am not going to blow any money on it especcialy seeing as i have none lol.

I should be getting that panel delivered to me at work some time today. just need to work out where i am going to take the car to have it painted and fitted.

I now need a new side indicator as well because it has fallen off at some point when i was driving :(

Ok I got the panel.

Not really in the best condition, a few nasty scuff marks on it and a little dent but oh well not a lot I can really do about that.

It is getting painted anyway so they can fix that up. It is better than the one that is on it at the moment.

On the upside it still had the indicator in it so I don’t need to do looking around for another one of those providing it works.

I know people have covered it on here before but could anyone point me in the direction of a good repairer, preferably in Osborne Park Rockingham? I work long days so need somewhere close to home or work.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    • 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.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
