Right then everyone , Engineer as been out and has viewed the car and said its a very clean example and has been looked after :)

I am awaiting a response from the engineer to see what the out come is, its happning all very quickly because i am going through a accident company and they are fowarding the costs on to the other party.as they have admitted liability.

So hope fully i should know more early part of next week. The guys at the bodyshop advised the car is my pride and joy and they said the engineer was very shocked to how well the car looked for its age and condition.

I just want MY car or a car which is RWD back on the road , hate waiting

Spend as long as you want checking the car over and only when you are 100% happy with it sign.

I have had silly things that have been sorted after the fact but if they want to be arsey they can refuse any comebacks after you have signed :nod:

Good news mate but if its a contract repair make sure you do go over everything because if they do find more damage when striped they do not have to do anything other than whats already been estimated for so there may be things that they don't repair/ change.

Is there any way you can get a normal repair? if you get contract repair then like i said if more damage is found then the repairer wont touch it as they wont get paid for it and you will get it back like that with nothing you can do about it.

I recommend you get glass fibre vented front wings ;)

Ohh does it need a new bonnet ? i can feel a carbon fiber one coming :nod:

Don't forget that all these parts will be considerably cheaper than the OE Nissan items :nod:
