dr_broon Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 okay, so this morning I tried squeezing past a flatbed van with loads of crap sticking out the back, and ended up scraping down the door (new door needed - no big problem coz I was going to replace a couple of doors anyway coz of rust) but the worst bit is this:yes that is a hole so the question is - is this a panel that can be replaced, or is it just going to have to be a repair by a skilled bodywork guy?bloody petrol tank to fit, leaky head gasket and now this... poor tubs.

johngreen537 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Rear quarters are always a pain mate!Rich is your best bet for a proper answer, but I'd say it'd be cheaper to get a bodyshop to sort it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 was the crap hanging over the side of the truck, if so that is illagel and you have a claim (surly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 tbh, looking at how low the scratch is, i think it must have just been off the corner of the flat bed on the van and I've just been a tool...I knew I should have stayed in bed this morning..

johngreen537 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Claim on your insurance mate, they'd write it off. Then you can buy it back off them for scrap value, and use the settlement money to repair it, and make a good few quid in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
