I was going to suggest that, unfortunately there is no longer a panel beater in Yass. If you need somewhere to stash a vehicle we've got a big backyard.

John, Wagga has a large truck repair industry, I had a car written off by my insurance company, they offered me $1800 for a car I paid $17,000 for, so I told them to stick it and sued the other driver, got a quote to repair my car for $10,000.
Won the court case other driver had to pay all costs, court awarded $9,500, scrapped the car and went and bought a better car, Good Luck, Regards Frank.
Thanks for the information, Frank. We have not got to that stage yet, and I hope we will not. But I am reasonably confident that it won't come to that.Quote:

I am booked in next Tuesday.

Hi John
I'll take some images of the rear cross member of the 110 at the CSA tomorrow and post them up. If you need it I'll then get the gas axe out and cut the rails.

Thanks Diana, but when I was talking to the repairer this morning, and I said I'd be happy with a second hand one provided it was rust free, and that I could probably locate one, they said that they only use new parts. We'll have to see if they stick to the tune when they actually try to get a new one.Quote:

Just got off the phone to the insurer. One useful bit of information that they provided is that since the vehicle is over sixteen years old, they do not have to put it on the written off vehicles register, even if they write it off.
I am still arguing with them over a deposit on the hire car they are going to provide.
John
Got some good news this morning. They are going to repair my car! But they have been quoted six weeks delivery on a replacement crossmember, so I am getting the car back tomorrow and they will let me know when they get the parts.
John
Fantastic news John, very happy for you.
Well, I got the car back yesterday, but found that the repairer that it was at is not repairing it. So I have spent all day today trying to find out what is going on.
About ten minutes ago I finally got to talk to the assessor, who was supposed to call me yesterday and didn't. The problem he has is twofold. Firstly he needed to know whether I wanted them to repair it or to get a quote and pay me. Secondly, sourcing a new crossmember is going to take weeks unless they can find one in Australia, and they are trying to find a repairer willing to take on the job. I told them to go ahead, but heaven knows when anything will happen.
