How did you miss the rain... It was pouring all morning just south of you in Richmond from Alberto...... glad you got there with no problems..

Any update?

 

Just saw this thread for the first time. Gawd, it suck! BTDT! My Euro Pros respray ran about $6k, but that was part of a larger repair job. My car was down for 6 mos. and I was so angry by the end of the whole thing that I was sure nothing could make me feel better. But when I got her back, she looked better than new and my sour mood evaporated immediately. You probably can't add a clear bra for a few weeks after you get her back. The paint needs to fully cure. Just drive carefully for that time.

 

Here is an update... I received an estimate from the body shop last night. This means all guessing has stoped and I will sort through this thread to find the lucky Person!!!!! and what the prize will be.

I hope to get this together tonight...

 

Good luck with this utter mess...

 

I know Im late but I guess $9001 with a partial paint job.

 

$8500 Plus paint

 

Based on the estimate and after checking the numbers, and there were a few close numbers ...................... drum roll here................. The envelope please............................... and the winner is............................ from Durham, NC............... with the closest amount with out going over ........................... let me introduce......... stedge ................ his guess of $14,700.00 ................. being under the estimate amount of $14,709.99......

And now the prize............... more drum roll............. clapping........ more clapping................ You will be receiving a Zymol Car Care Package consisting of One 16 oz Zymol Natural Concentrated Auto Wash, One 16 oz Zymol Natural Liquid Cleaner Wax, One 8 oz Zymol Leather Cleaner, One 8 oz Zymol Leather Conditioner, and One 16 oz Zymol Detailer Spray to help keep your car looking beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done stedge, well done ............ lots more clapping

I would like to thank everyone who participated and offered their words of encouragement during this tough ordeal. Now I will be getting into the insurance arena and see how this plays out.

Thanks again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow! Is there any chance you could post the parts & labor breakdown?

 

Hmm... wasn't off by much...my guess was 13,911.93 ...

Goodluck...

 

Wow, I guess paying a deductable isn't too bad then. Hope the repairs go well.

 

mr. bock ~

i commend your willingness to share such a painful experience w/ the group here... fwiw: i could hardly stand looking @ the pics... but still i had to.

thank God no one was physically hurt.

i will take heed & when i do get the killer jack i will be sure i have a double high ceiling & or figure out how to put a limiter on the tool to avoid such a mishap.

x1000 for this post & your humor.

ps: then again, guess i could always stick to the sears jack as calvo said.

 

Well color me purple and call me a baked bean, I never win diddley squat, so how 'bout that.

You have PM, Mr. Bock. I also bought some lottery tickets, so maybe the good juju is working here....

 

Attention all ships at sea.....and now for an update!!!! It will be the insurance companies that battle out who pays how much. In the mean time I have received a check to get the repairs started. I suspect there will be additional hidden damage that will be covered. I will be getting with the Body Shop to get this moving forward. I am looking to do a sunroof delete to get cleaner lines, save some weight, and maybe some money???

I hope to be back on the road maybe the end of October (this year)!!!! Lost out on a summer of autocrossing...

I hope to get pictures up as this healing process continues.
