    ah it isnt worth thinking about. she will be sensational when she is finished again. the mechanic has offered me a 1993 "something" to drive when its being repaired. so look out for a nissan bluebird or the like.

    Ya i'll do a respray for u for 1200, out in the back garden :D

    But no the reason for the cost is that the little dimples in the rub strips have to be sanded out, and it needs a special primer. Otherwise it comes out sh1tty and chips very easily.

    yup in about 3 weeks id imagine as i have moved to tipp. now there may be a job starting up again in limerick. typical! i have missed my stalker. ah **** it i aint gonna mess with her. just get her through the nct in september and im sorted. there is no reason she wont pass, bar the broken windscreen. ah here how much is one of them? make that total €2,700 in that case!

    so the lesson on this expensive thread is

    CHECK YOUR TYRES REGULARLY FOR ANY IRREGULARITIES, WEAKNESSES ETC, ESPC ON LOW PROFILE TYRES!

    still dont know what caused my crash but something wasnt right and i never knew.
