Local garage is going to source a set of 325 rear frame and trailing arms (with discs on, an upgrade yay!), fit the whole lot, and check the alignment for £700. I know it's a high price, but they'll do it properly, and I can trust them, and I just don't have the time to deal with it at the mo.. funeral next week, huge exams the week after, just dealing with the insurance is doing my head in enough.
Plan so far, tell me if anyone's got better suggestions.
Talk to the girl's parents, and see if they will give me the £700 straight away.
If not, go the insurance route, they'll write off the car as Cat C or D hopefully, hopefully they'll value the car about £1000-£1200? (Reason I think it's a write-off is that they have to use new parts in insurance repairs, which would be about £1500 I'd imagine for new trailing arms and subframe, correct me if I'm wrong) I can then buy it back off them cheaply, and fix her up for £700, and maybe make a slight profit and have disc brakes as an added bonus. Only thing is it'll look very bad in the car's history, but as I'm not planning to sell her... not a problem.
She admitted liability, and I've got the details of a witness who saw her turn down the road and drive straight along the side of my car. At least it damaged her car a lot more than mine.
Not a F**king happy bunny
Ps now in the market for a very good condition BBS 15"inch wheel if anyone's got one going cheap with decent tyre on it? Please not a vibratey one, I've had enough aggro for one year now.
PPS here's what she was looking like 3 weeks or so ago, though this is before I'd spend a whole day cleaning her up with T-cut, polish and wax. Looks lovely now, but the rear wheels just in the wrong place
