My estimate would be in the vicinity of $3-5K.

However that said - my repair bill came out to $1300 for parts, and $1500 for labor. I supplied my panel beater with a new radiator support, bonnet, bar and paint. I removed the motor and stripped the car down for him, so all he basically had to do was put it on the jig, weld in the new support, straighten the chassis rail out and paint it.

The more you can do yourself, the less you will have to pay the beater to do.

If you need a tow service, I highly recommend Lurch's Towing - give James a call on 0433 00 7714

yeah, got most of parts really...like lights, indicator, guards and bar.

Just need a panel beater to beat panels out and straighten it up and paint it back to red.
Will get doors from wrecker or something.
Just got to go and get cooler bend and the car will be running like nothing ever happen... I hope.

You checked to make sure you haven't bent the chassis rail? They're designed to crumple in an impact. The damage could be worse than what it looks from outside.

yeah. Its all good. Took it apart today.
Rad support pushed in by about 1cm. I could have pulled it out but want to be on the safe side. I tried to put guards and bar on. Everything will be straight when rad support get push out.

Judging by the "tropic motors" stickers on the cars @ the Vic Cruise and the quality of the work I'd seen when they were parked... they get my thumbs-up from a punters' perspective!

yeh tropic motors for sure! they do an awesome job

 

[sidewayz]

Yea. I agree following mntl and mattgsr to the cruise and looking at their paint work etc. Looks like tropic would be your best bet.
