[WIZZRD] a.k.a APV SR3900 is off the road

by **santoitaliano** » May 26th, 2009, 12:18 am

Hey all..

a while since last post..

bit of an update.

friday morning at 8am on flemington road someone who wasnt paying attention decided to change lanes into me while he was stationary and i was at 55kph...

long story cut short shes not a very healthy gal at the moment :this:

By the looks of it one of my beautiful simmons is destroyed as he hit me right on the wheel, a upper and lower control arm change is needed.. new stub axle, rack and pinion, new guard on the front left, bit of paint in some other bits. The collision had so much force it knocked off my rear bar and cracked my right hand side skirt!

Worst part of it is that the car isnt registered and therefore doesnt have insurance. The dude says he'll pay up but it will be interesting to see what happens. I recently dropped my insurance to third party, but luckily they'll cover me to 5grand if worst comes to worst.

Cross your fingers for me guys! :beg:

take care... hopefully she is better sooner rather than later... hopefully i dont get fucked around in the meantime by this dude..

Geez bad luck mate. Always liked your car. 3rd party should still cover you though shouldn't it??

by **santoitaliano** » May 26th, 2009, 12:40 am

yeah it will to 5 grand coz i have all the other dudes details... my fear is that they write it off... what is market value of an ea these days.. :-S

speaking of which.. it is so hard to get a damn price on a B45!

by **67rce** » May 26th, 2009, 1:35 am

There is a guy on Ford Mods selling a set of B45's for $600 iirc

by **Commando** » May 26th, 2009, 7:38 am

Damn, one of the best EAs on here too

Good luck with the insurance mate!

Pics?

Good luck with insurance. Just goes to show no matter how well you drive there's always some tool out there looking to wipe you out. My EA went in the same way, I hope you have more luck with insurance than I did! If you have to, buy the wreck back and repair it!

if he was stationary, and you were at 55kmh... dosnt that mean you hit him? :scratch:

by **EDFalcon** » May 26th, 2009, 1:25 pm

well that sucks. Certainly one of my favourite EAs out there. Hope it gets all fixed up soon

by **Nikk O'lass** » May 26th, 2009, 4:44 pm

shit news! I hope it is repaired, i hope the body kit iisn't damaged too much, this car is too unique to have shit like this happen.

Repair it and don't drive it!

by **santoitaliano** » May 26th, 2009, 4:51 pm

thank god the kit isnt damaged.. a little bit of damage to the right hand side skirt... easily fixable. When i was hit on the front right, the whole car on that side lifted up and the back bumper and skirt smashed against the ground.. the front bar has no damage apart from scrapage.

:-(

by **LUXO_8** » May 26th, 2009, 5:42 pm

that sucks man....good luck with the repairs....

by **-jjM-** » May 29th, 2009, 2:16 pm

no good dude, good luck on its recovery

by **santoitaliano** » May 29th, 2009, 5:59 pm

he accepted liability for my insurance which was recently changed to 3rd part fire and theft.. with my policy they'll still cover me to 5 grand...

gets assessed next week, hopefully they cover the repairs and dont just write it off for a few grand...

regardless ill get to keep the car.

keep your fingers crossed for me..

by **LUXO_8** » May 29th, 2009, 6:15 pm

by **Nikk O'lass** » June 3rd, 2009, 5:50 pm

Ever thought of getting a mould taken from the kit? Its unreplaceable...

by **santoitaliano** » June 5th, 2009, 1:05 am

na bugger the mold.. the kit has remained relatively unscathed throughout this incident.. bit of a risk i guess..

still no updates.. waiting to be assessed..

by **santoitaliano** » July 20th, 2009, 12:00 am

Hey all!

Yeah my EA hold's that special place as well. It's about 5 metres by 2 metres, out the back of the garage on the patio. It'd be more special if the EA wasn't there.
