Off the road
 

Scoob is now parked up for the winter due to the good all white stuff called snow and also front windscreen being smashed and passenger wing mirror broken aswell lucky tomorrow guy coming out to fit new window .

how did the damage happen?

A random guy from camp walking to a village he stays in on the middle of the road in the pitch black and being drinking I moved car to the other side of the road to pass a deep puddle that was covering the left side of road and the guy stumble in front of the car causing the window and wing mirror to smash but the guy has a sprained ankle and a broken collar bone thank god I wasn't going fast or it could have been a lot worse .

Hope you get things sorted OK !!:doubleup:

Front window screen is getting fixed as we speak just need to get the passenger trim the goes front the front to the back of the car and passenger door mirror and the car be back on the road next year .

So long as youre free for the 23/05/2014.. :five:

Here's hoping that I am and the car is ready after I take it to the garage next year to give it once over to make sure it's sound to drive .

Got a phone call today from my insurance company that they are coming to see my car on Sunday to look at the car to as the A pillar on the passenger side is damaged and take photos and let me know if it will become a cat c due to the age of the car as I've all ready been giving an estimate of how much it is going to fix the damage and to remove any rust and weld and a respray the roof and both A pillars , I've got a funny feeling they will ending up sending me a cheque and let me keep the car . Fingers crossed to see what happens but have been car shopping on the net and found a nice 2003 blobeye in edingburgh in wr blue with 84000 miles , full subaru service history , owned by a lady and at a steal of a price .

Whatever the outcome mate, I hope it works in your favour and you're happy with it.

Here is the cars I have been looking at if I decide to get another one just incase its not worth put any money in to fix mine but the problem is I bought mine as a present to myself 2 years to the date after my best mate died in afghanistan .

Well I will have wait to find out what the insurance says before I decide what to do .

the white one id go for myself

So do I its got my name written all over the plate as SAS is my initals lol

Woman came round took lots of photos of the car said it was a nice clean example but what got me she had to take photo of the mileage why is that and hopefully find out in the next 2 weeks on what happens next .

It's done 130k! the white one.. personally id wait and see what they do with yours first dude. at least you know the car already.. if its Cat c/d you can easy get it fixed and back on the road again np.

Stripped down my 4 pots that I bought going to replace all the pistons as 2 of them were seized what a night mare to remove but its done and wondering what is the ideal brake fluid upgrade as I use dot 4 at the moment and as its gives me something to do for the next couple of weeks while waiting for the insurance company to get back to me but I am really thinking about fixing the car as I've already spent a bit of money tiding the car up as Ginola says see what they do with my car first but I hate waiting as I could get it booked in to get it fixed

Little update got a phone call from insurance good news I'm getting to keep my car and they are putting money into my bank to put towards the cost to getting it fix so been on the dog and bone to RA MOTORSPORTS Development in Perth going down tomorrow to get quote for the work that needs done .

Started sourcing parts collect wing mirrors tomorrow in black and in the process of doing a deal on side skirts , rear bumper and boot with genuine v5 spoiler in 406 it will get there eventually

Good work matey only 134 days to go :lol:

i use ATE Super Blue fluid from Eurocarparts, nice solid pedal with no fade since i have been using it on track. Not mega expensive either, just flush it once a year or so.

Getting some funds put into my account in 3 days from insurance company and RA MOTORSPORTS is giving me a phone on Monday with a quote to repair front window screen frame I wonder how much that going to cost but who cares lol

Oh buy the way BIG"E" got the time booked off to go so that squared just the car to go now .

:doubleup::drive::drive:

Got mirrors now going to give them a clean tomorrow don't know if I should paint them myself or get them done by a bodyshop HELP .

Fitted mirrors now and I'm off for week starting on Monday what am I going to do with my self , I know I'm going to go to Fleetwood and get the parts fitted instead of waiting until Friday .

I'd let the body shop do them mate as silver is a difficult colour to match.

That's what I'm thinking as I had the colour made for me when I sprayed my v6 spoiler my self and it turn out good for my first attempt so I think I will let the body shop do it this time .

Traveling down south tomorrow night or early doors Tuesday morning to get some parts and I'm going to be cheeky and see if I can get a FMIC including price for the rest of the parts as I am on tight budget lol .

Right just got back from RA MOTORSPORTS DEVELOPMENT with some good news that they can fix the damage to the A pillar , sort the rust on the roof above the window , sort the rust on the other pillar and also fix a rust hole on the inner rear right arch and replace my full filler pipe with a new one and respray parts that require fixing all in for £1300 now I'm really going to think about fixing it now what do you all think I should fix or buy another one comments on this one please .

Just spoke to the BOSS ( the wife ) going to get the car fixed just need to phone RA MOTORSPORTS to get it booked in while I'm away earning extra money .
