Ok a truck changed lanes on the William Jolly bridge, but failed to see her, end result is he side swiped her... :o there is damage up side of her car, door is stuffed, it's still driveable, and she is not hurt thankfully. Unfortunately she is uninsured, but truckdriver was. She is now having to go thru the motions with the truckies insurance company. She needs to get 2 quotes and has asked me to ask forum if anyone knows of any good panelbeaters in brisvegas.

What a silly truckdriver, why his careless actions and the resulting suffering caused for my friend make me so dangdiddlyangry... and buses they are a menace sometimes as well, oh my the roads these days are a warzone, survival of the fittest, or in this case, the biggest....

Thanks. Heather.

glad to hear the occupants are ok.. about the T3..

it must be gals and t3 week, this week. glad she is ok though..

Glad to hear she is okay.........Hugabug has used a panel beater in the past few months re a small dint and it was an insurance job. I will be seeing her tomorrow so will either get the details or get her to u2u them to you.

You know I have doors etc if needed.

From what I saw of it today the front panel doesn't look too bad, the door is stuffed (as in it would take a crap load of work to get it right - or even anywhere near right) and the rear needs a fair bit of work. The truck seemed to hit side on, but ripped the door forwards if that makes sense.
To cap it off, I asked and she told me that some little darling ripped off her Volkswagen script from the rear and the VW emblem off her nose the other week!!!
I'm tracking down a panel beater out Northgate who said he did his apprenticeship on VWs and asking if he does Type 3's as well.

Glad to here all was ok. Cars can be fixed!

shit thats no good. glad shes ok. mick motors have quite a few wrecks and things they might be able to supply a new door.

ill give her a call tomorrow.

Hi

Thats bad luck, glad shes OK, metal can usually be fixed. Make sure shes sticks to her guns and dosnt get pushed around by the pen pushers at the insurance company, we cant afford to loose any more VWs from our roads. Maybe she needs an advocate, someone with balls that wont take any shit, sounds like a job for SUPER 2.63 BAJA WOMAN, not saying that you have big balls Heather, but you know what I mean.

Steve

Try Brett Brackley Body Works on 3256 6301. He's currently doing my '63 Beetle.

Also ring Rohan at Mick Motors. He knows of another VW panel guy on the Northside who did his vert.

Cheers

I wish Thorun's car a speedy and successful recovery.

I am neutral on the above "discussion" - I think the problem was the generalisation made.

Just a quick reminder of the spirit of AVD and also the fact that each individual should try and remain constuctive - as threads get off track and degenerate that is when they will be moderated. I'll leave it for now but lets let this pass and get back to the questions re. panel beaters, I don't particularly like moderating but will do so if required.

Cheers
