Hi All,

Last week a bus decided to kiss the rear end of my 1100 - with the following result :



....so I am chasing quotes for repair. I found one mob who had no problem giving me a quote, after which I haven't been able to find another joint who will agree to even quote!

So I'm after reccommendations for any panel shops in the Brisbane West area, I'm half way between Brisbane and Ipswich, so either direction will do!

Cheers!

Jacob

You could try Matt's mate, Stewy's the one into the paint isant he?

Thanks, but if I was in the position for the insurance company to handle it, I would certainly let them!

Arrruuummm I'm not going to ask Matty for a quote

cheers,

The shop I work at is in fortitude valley.
We have done that sort of work before, so I'm sure we'd be happy to quote it.

That might be a bit too much in the city for you, but I just thought I'd offer anyway.
Pm me if you want the shop details.

i estimate that we wouldn`t quote, but purely estimate an estimation as an estimate

Thanks for the leads everyone, hopefully that should be enough so I can get the second quote.

I can help you with a second hand tail light if you want one.

Thanks Morris, I've got a few spare but most are pretty "pimply" - I've got the worst one on it now so it's drivable, but once the proper repair is done I might need another "good" one.

cheers!

The ones I have are a little pimply. I just figured that it was better than a missing one!

True enough! The day after the prang I got motivated and did a bit of bashing, & put a light on it :



Took ages to get the wheelarch to clear, those 1100s are damn strong!

cheers,

Jacob
