Advice Needed!

[MkyHnly]

Hey guys,

I was driving my VC to work this morning and got sideswiped massively by the local garbage man in his truck...

The passenger side front door and the window, the rear passenger door and a bit of the rear quarter panel have been pushed in pretty far, and the frame in between the two doors has been pushed in.

I havent had a chance to get it to a panel beaters today, do you think it will be written off? Should i buy it back off the insurance company if it is? What do you think?

Your advice would be much appreciated! Cheers MkyHnly

and the frame in between the two doors has been pushed in.

frame? as in, the B pillar? the bit between the two doors? if that has been pushed in you got buckleys of fixing it cheaply.

soz to be the bearer of bad news, but yeah, pics would be useful.

Mate That would be a write off unless its a genuine Brocky. Start looking for another one.

Hey guys, here's some pictures I took yesterday when i got the car back home. I hope you can see them, let me know if you can't.

And ari666, yes it is the B pillar. The roof just above the B pillar also has a crease too.

Thanks for the support guys.

I'd have to day its a write off, unless its a brocky as said before, depends how much the insurance company want for it to buy it back, i'd probably say yes and strip and sell it

its not too bad, pick up two new doors from the wreckers, you will have to pull out the sill, hopefully those two dents are just dents and not folds from your pillar being pushed in. the main thing is the roof looks ok to me from the pics. any chance you could take a shot of the pillar with the two doors open? especially the bottom.

hopefully itll be repairable so far so good.
