Had a wee accident

--- Quote from: "smo" ---Hmm, spoke to the repairing garage earlier and it looks like its going to be a write off.
Insurance assesor has been and is doing his report. I was amazed to hear the estimated repair cost...then they said it might need a front axle at a whapping £5500...yes 5.5K for one axle!!!! :shock:

load of crap aint it? exactly the reason that insurance is largely a waste of time and money
smo:
I hope to buy back the salvage though and rebuild her myself into a challenge truck.....depends what the insurance company say.

Bad news SMO, my 90 was rear ended over xmas, i have a seriously deformed rear but it ain't damaged my chassis other than the very rear and the x member, so i'm lucky. We all walked away aswell with just the usual whiplash / bruises etc etc which is double lucky. The only fatality was the J33p, it just folded when it bummed my 90...........
smo:
Thats not good Jim - i take it you are going to be repairing her?

It cant be that much for an axle??? Isnt it the reason we buy landies is because parts are so stupidly cheap??? I would have a look on Paddocks or somewhere and look to see if you can find axles alot cheaper.
I know a van that was close to being a write off and we faught it and found a garage that would send in a quote using second hand parts for some bits and the insurance co said yeah go ahead with that quote then.
It maybe worth a try :?
