Anthony.

[Luke]

Evening All,

Well I have been talking to Anthony for a last hour and he asked me to update everyone with his situation regarding the Westcoast, Insurance and obviously been away from here.

Basically, some of you may know that someone pulled out on him within a couple of weeks of passing his test, making a total mess of his Mango Westie.

Anyways, he has been driving around in a 307 (good choice ;)) but that has gone back now. The insurance came out to view the car, basically told him that it can be repaired and did he want to buy it back? So he agreed.....!

Now the car HASN'T been given a Category Write Off - so basically, it can be just repaired and put back on road - which is making me think it's only a CAT D as CAT C needs a VIC check.

Anthony was undecided if he wanted to repair the car as it would never be the same again, but I am pleased to say he his looking at quotes of getting it repaired and put back on the road.

There is just a quick update.

i hope the badges i made for it are ok

[Luke]

Were they doorcard badges?

[al_VTR]

How much have they quoted him for buying it back?

[Luke]

I hope he doesn't mind me saying this on here, but I think it was about £200.

[TU-Tuning]

fair play, let us know how it goes

[saxowebby]

any pics of it, no1 has seen it crashed yet

[alextoffie]

Hope he gets it back on the road asap. Beautiful car.

[Paul]

Sexy as fuck car.

[Emma_ZS]

Cool, i spoke to him earlier and he said he was adding new things to it aswell :)

£270 to be exact, i don't mind. :y:

Shhhhh. ;)


Thanks for that Luke.

Yeah i am still unsure weather to repair to be honest as i said to Luke it won't be the same again, but i'm still only 18 and can't really afford to get a brand new car.

So basically i'm looking at quotes at the moment, if it's not to bad it will be done, if not i will be breaking her for spares and then look into something new, if it's repaired i'll probally run her for the year then sell up for that new car i was going to get.

Thanks for everyones concern and all the txt messages and phone calls people still give me from here, didn't expect to hear from any of you to be honest. :p

Cheers

Ant

[saxowebby]

got any pictures, so peeps can work out a rough price to see if they can help you.

[Payney]

I don't want to show pictures of it smashed to bits, as i'm sure you can understand, i hate to look at it knowing that some prick smashed my baby up.

[kenny]

good on you for deciding to sort it dude :y:

[kristel10589]

I hope you get it sorted. That was one sexy saxo :p

[xxxvickxxx]

good luck hope you get it all sorted

[Saxy1]

good luck with it mate.

[claret-vtr]

Get it sorted its possibly the nicest mango saxo ive seen.

[willsy]

Glad you've decided to get it fixed. Did they give you a decent amount payout for the damage?

With only £270 to buy the car back im sure with whatever money the insurance paid out extra that you can repair it perfectly.

Theres lots of people on here who can help out and ensure that things are done reasonably, certainly give Aid (tif992ss) a call and see what sort of prices he can give you for parts- you wont find anyone more helpful than him for that.

Putting bits back together theres plenty of us local thatll lend a hand to keep garage labour down.

Goodluck mate, you've got my number if you need anything

[JimoVTR]

got any pictures, so peeps can work out a rough price to see if they can help you.

It is a bit of a state tbh.
Looks worse than it is I believe.

Just wait till the outcome and view the nicely revived westie.

[Payney]

Like Jimo just said, looks alot worse than it is, on pictures and initially seeing it it looks like a Cat C... But theres no chassis damage or anything like that.


Cheers Matt, i will give Aid a ring once i have quotes for other repairs.

[Jungle_Jim]

will be good if you can get it all fixed up mate, seems a waste otherwise. use it as an oppertunity to put your mark on it mate, maybe do it like that chop i sent you mate

[Slarky_cgm]

Car is lush as hell tbh mate, hope he gets it back on the road soon :A:.

[Marcos]

get it fixed and you will b able to get it looking better aswell

[RedB]

You will be getting this back on the road

Know you want too ;)
As iv said dude, anything you need even for a chat you've got my num :y:
Definately speak to Aid and there are a fair few people who would be happy to lend you a hand aswell...

Drop up and see you end of this month if you want to catch up and maybe take me up on that offer of a detail for free if shes all good then :)

[LEE_VTR1]

ant i really hope you do rebuild the mango beast
i havent had chance to see her still yet but she looks stunning in pictures
so get her back on the road and as jim says make your mark on the saxo :)
drop me a txt sometime if you want to chat mate

[Payney]

Thanks for all the support guys. :y:

[S70KES]

[boz]

i hope you get its sorted matey.

you can do it, a few peeps on here have brought cars back from the dead ;)

have a look at stevtr thread for his his white pug gti that was smashed up.

[Japman]

good luck ant

[Dan-Subtle]

Good luck Anthony, im sure it will come back better than before!!

[rushy_23]

Still cant beleive it happened matey. Was litterally gutted when I heard.

If it does get fixed up mate will be great as its such a nice car, especially
how you went all that way to get it. When you brought it to that meet I was
proper wow'ed by it.

Let us know whatever you definatly plan.

[Jungle_Jim]

would also be rude not to drop a vts lump in it whilst your working on the front end :)

[Japman]

good idea jim :P

[Payney]

For now the 1.4 will stay, it's now definetly being repaired... Going to take a few weeks then i'll set up something so i can meet a few of you again. :y:

[Paul]

certainly give Aid (tif992ss) a call and see what sort of prices he can give you for parts- you wont find anyone more helpful than him for that.

Pffft.....

He quoted me £30 for one wing mirror =\

[rey]

Pffft.....

He quoted me £30 for one wing mirror =\


doesnt mean he's not helpful does it? ;)

still quoted you lol

[craig180]

Pffft.....

He quoted me £30 for one wing mirror =\

You get what you pay for in this day and age mister. I will vouch for Aid being one of the most honest, helpful and genuine people you can buy virtually any part from on this site!

At the end of the day, he's not a private trader, he runs a business and pays tax on every part he sells (mr taxman:p)

Antony - how much did you get paid out from the insurance if you don't mind me asking?

[RedB]

You get what you pay for in this day and age mister.

Antony - how much did you get paid out from the insurance if you don't mind me asking?

Second that, how much dude?

Plans for the S lump in after shes put back together like humpty dumpty sound good
As Jim says...You can make the little changes you previously wanted and get her Perfect :y::)

[Payney]

I got1800 back, which isn't alot compared to what i paid for it.. And i bought the car back for 270

[tif992ss]

Pffft.....

He quoted me £30 for one wing mirror =\

Which included mirror cap and next day delivery which costs me ten quid (ANC), as 180 stated I have the vat man to pay , insurance , electric , oh and wages to pay !! I cant please every one but will always try to do a deal .
Anth if I can help you know I will , and e huggs to 180 and Willsy :hug:
Aid

[sexylittleass]

Good luck with the car mate :y:

[rushy_23]

Geez I think your phones broken or have you lost my mob number?!

[Hanuman]

so did you actually make the insurance claim and get payment from them?

[Payney]

Yeah i did mate, sorry for late reply.

As for progress it's very slow as i need an inner wing, but not many are willing to cut it off the car for me. :(

[Payney]

Update: Getting the inner wing this week so work will begin on the weekend me thinks, got a few newsurprises for you and the car.;)
