well im pretty pissed of today as i was reversing out of my garage (how unlucky is this) my garage decided it would be a good idea to just fold and come crashing down right onto of my skyline...as my car was in reverse it kept going so scratching it deeply from the end of the roof (near rear window) all the way til it hit my sunroof which was in a tilted position and that wedged itself into one of the groove of the garage and pretty much ripped out one of the rails...might i add this is an electric roller door, so then i stopped the car jumped out put the garage on manual, and drove my car foward to release it from my sunroof then it just went stright onto my roof and wedged my car inbetween..i was like f**k couldnt move it as it was out of the rails luckily my mate had rang me whom was around the cornor, came over and helped me get my car out, finally did that and the grabbed my neighbour whom is a handyman and he helped fix my garage so now its pretty much ok bit bent but ok...but my car omg the roof is just scratched to shit, im just so cut after you get it running mechanically fine something like that happens pure bad luck so that just tops of the rest of my shitty ass week.....any one have any idea what i would be looking at to get the roof resprayed?

oh f**k , my dad had that happen but not to that extreme, he was backing out and sat on the remote to the roller door.

landed on the boot, lucky he had these thick rubber strips on the door, and the door realised there was a car there and went back up.

seen in XXX bodykits window on Cheltenham road Keysborough. '$750 respray any car' .. somthing like that

do you have house insurance? a friend had some gear stolen out of his wifes car and the house insurance covered it due to the car being on the property when the stuff was stolen. excess may be cheaper then paying for it outta your own pocket.

^^^^ Doesn't matter dude, your insurance will still cover it, well if your insurance company is a good one it will. Exact same thing happened to a mate of mine in Taylors hill the other week, High wind screwed his garage (panel roller) and he didn't know. Opened door up started to drive out and the thing let go and crashed onto his car! His house insurance covered it.

Can't hurt to call them to see

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate 
    • 😂 thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated.  
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
