Some more bad luck...

[voxx 0]

Hi chaps

 

Not been on for a while - but thought I'd post some news...

 

After my last bit of bad luck here - http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?50587-absolutely-fuming....and-gutted&highlight=absolutely+gutted - I come with more bad luck!

 

Bought a house, big project, so not living there at the moment - left the car overnight for the first time whilst I went to Edinburgh. Came home the next day to this:

 

 

 

Appears that it was the opposite neighbours daughter, in her big Nissan Navara...luckily she left her details and reported it so it will all get done under insurance. Struggled to get some wings but found 2 so they should be arriving next week. The door has been hit too - can't open the door properly. A friend reckons that the whole side might need resprayed. There's some other bits I have been meaning to get sorted so now is probably a good time. I was really gutted but I'm glad she has taken the blame!

 

will get an update when the work is happening

 

cheers

 

p.s. - yes and when it's finished, I'll give it a wash.........!!

hope its no more serious than you're imagining. was it new panels you were struggling to get?

yeah new wings - but I have them en route. Found them on eBay. I think late VR wings are harder to get? I actually have 2 wings but they are from an early 16v (as I didn't know they were different before I bought them!) Got them for £30 each. Thought it was best to get 2 whilst I could!

Look on the bright side, its looks like you were needing the wing done anyway so now she is paying for it.

Yep - thats why I'm not too upset. i was when I saw it for the first time! The was a lot of rust building up at the bottom so it was needing done anyway. :)
