I no a panel beater in vic that will fix it he does metal repairs not bog repairs.

thats not kool man i woulda done my nut but i would start lookin for another door because i very much doubt ne one will even try to fix it as for the rest it will come out if u can find a good panel beater down there.

What an amazing looking little Ute, lucky it wasnt me, i would have snotted the bitch if her attitude was about how she was gettign home, did she even bother to say sorry?

Nah, no apology until I did my block at her. A few people stopped and took on the role of mediators (pretty sure that was a good thing!).

I was a sore for a couple days down the right side of my body - mainly my neck and where my head smacked the window... but holy crap you realise how good seat belts are!! She couldn't have been going very fast, but when she hit I was thrown pretty hard towards the passenger seat and the only thing that stopped me was my seatbelt. I guess its like being tackled by Tana Umanga in full flight.

I have been around to I think about 15 smash repair places in Canberra and Queanbeyan, but no one has given me a solid impression that they can do the paint.... I have spoken with Shannons and they are considering the full respray option at this point in time. Time will tell I guess.

Yeah, thanks for the tips on leaving the repair place.... I'll make sure I'm 100% happy. I'll let you all know how it goes and post up some pics of the repairs.

Ciao

thats such a shame you are having trouble with your search. i know how much trouble i had when i was having the rear of my daily fixed. they replaced the bumper but left a dent and paint on the boot and all sorts.

Seats Beats yes quite a good invention, i rolled my race car back in May it was a '80 Ford Cortina, 2 and half times rolled it over the tyre wall comming out of turn 4 at Daylesford Speedway, the 5 point harness was very effective, only giving me minor bruising on inside of legs from crutch strap, Helmets are also handy, still suffering from the 4 ribs i displaced behind my shoulder blade but that comes and goes, lol
