Sonicriot13 0 Posted March 25, 2008 Hey Phil, :wave: Welcome to the forum. I had a 91 G60 but my rubbish previous job forced me to sell it as the commute was unjustifiable in its expense. I'm sure you'll love your new car. My G was the best car I've ever owned and I've had a LOT of dubs. What were you driving before? Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted March 25, 2008 Was thinking about taking the rado off the road and rebuilding it but not to sure yet?! :shrug: That depends mate. How much money and/or spare time and/or patience do you have? :D Only joking. I wish I had been able at the time to go down the road of rebuilding mine when I had it. How bad is the damage?

plymouthmad 0 Posted March 25, 2008 to be honest not that bad! just a dent on the front wing with a scratch going down the door and a scratch about 4cm long on the rear wing, also a bit of laquear peel above the rear window. getting the whole side done for £250. Looking forward to it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted March 25, 2008 250 notes? That's not bad at all. Sounds like the rebuilding has already begun then.... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
