Just got in an accident - the irony of it all...

[Kai]

Well, it wasnt dripping before, and it was after the hit, maybe it dislodged something :shrug:

Going to look at it tomorrow during daylight hours....it gets dark too quick these days...

 

[Clip]

if the fuel tank is beyond repair, i suppose you could look at a fuel cell. highly illogical if you just need a basic repair, though. as for the sill, they might be able to take some type of frame straightener to it if its bent too bad, but im not sure of the shop's capabilities.

 

[Kai]

Indeed. Thing is though - he turned up with Karma Supra and his S/O, both of whom have Supra's. One 1G-GTTE and a 7M-GTE with BIG power. Driving my N/A rustbucket back must have been embarrassing for poor ed

 

[Kai]

Jesus himself called me this afternoon, and he's said that the fuel tank, door and front wings will be fixed by MID WEEK!

The fuel tank is leaking from the seam so i suspect that it needs welding, or just swapping out for one that exists in Ed's Mk3 breakers yard.

While he's at it, he's going to do the plugs, valve clearances, timing, brake fluid, power steering fluid, clutch fluid - the works. Now all i'll need to get, is a respray on the replacement panels (see other thread about that).

Nice to hear that your door doesnt look too bad. Infact i would call it a small dent, I have seen much much much worse beeing repaird... My EVO VIII had passanger side doors hammered compleatly, but still, my mechanic was able to fix them (i owe him a beer lol)

Any news on that crazy Micra?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I'm not liking all these cars getting hit, but at least yours is pretty minor.
Asshats need to learn how to drive.

 

[Kai]

Yeah - the door i think can be pushed out, dent wise, and then resprayed, the door may not need replacing after all. I got it so that the window winds down fully, and the door shuts okay - seam lines are good, just a question of that scrape at the bottom.

Wings though definitely need to be done - as you can see in that photo, the bottom of the passenger side is totally disintegrated

well, the person that hit me just shouted at me for getting in his way, despite the fact that he was at fault, and drove off without giving insurance details.

What a bloody wanker. I would hunt him down and smash a bottle of ale over his head. Then again I'm irish, thats how I solve problems.

[Kai]

Hehe - well, problem was, he refused to give insurance details, police station was closed until the following day (they only do 9 to 5 hours here now) and the numberplate was dodgy anyways - they have CCTV footage though - but not like thats going to help

Well what did you do? Did you stop and check it out right away? If that bugger drove away from me after hitting me, God have mercy on his soul when I catch up to him.

 

[Kai]

WOW! Just got off the phone with Jesus - he's coming over this evening, he's taking the car away and delivering it back by the end of the week, and doing the following:

New Plugs
New Leads
New Distributor
New Rotor Arm
Valve Clearances
New Fuel Tank & Pump, Level Sender & Pipes
Front Fenders (Both Passenger & Driver)
New Heater Blower Motor
New Bulb Failure Module
New Propshaft
New Rear Brakes
Complete Fluid Change (Oil, Brake, Clutch)

All for £177!!! Now i dont know about you guys - but that, is a bargain!

Anyone in the UK who wants to contact Jesus, i'll ask him if i'm allowed to give out his number

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

holy crap Good deal!

And jesus lives in the UK!

 

[Kai]

JESUS IS ENGLISH! GIGGIDY! </Quagmire>

 

[Finnon]

yes edd is a good guy. he hasnt done work on mine yet but he has helped me out in other ways

 

[Kai]

I had set aside a few hundred quid expecting it to be waaaay more! £177 is less than Toyota charge for a f*cking service around here!!

 

[xXxICExXx]

no way mate......thats a damn good deal! So much for going to poland huh?

:icon_lol:

 

[Kai]

Well Poland might be on the cards for respray if LGM dont gimme a good quote, but i think he's going to fit the right colour panels...with good pre-facelift trim too.

 

[Kai]

Well, he came, he saw, he drove it away. 4 days time, i pick it up good as new - yay! All hail King Ed! :biggrinki

 

[xXxICExXx]

Three cheers for Ed, good show mate! What a good man, taking care of another person's supra...he knows the love we have for our cars.

 

[Kai]

Hell yes - the last problem i had before this had him ringing ME to sort out when to fix it. I was a little stumped, seeing as he didnt take any cash for that either! I had to ORDER him to take a fiver, which he used for fuel money
