Broke my 200 :(

Post by WOMBAT »

What would you do? I'm 99% sure it's totaled from this little incident, so I think I'll leave insurance out of it..

Drive into a buddy's garage with bike and rack on. Both the house and bike are fine.

Aww that sucks. Looks fixable, though! If you're on a budget, you might consider pulling the headliner and popping it out. Otherwise, I'd take it to a shop and let them work their magic on it.

Yeah, i bet the right shop could fix it up with minimal filler. Maybe try hotrod shops, I had the most luck talking with them when I was doing my fender project. Most body shops are just panel changers.

Shit! Sorry to hear man.

I agree, pop the headliner and see what's up. At the very least you'll save the labour a shop would charge for prep.

I'd first try to find a rear windshield. From my knowledge they're NLA, might need to find a junkyard car.
Sorry to see dude. That's depressing.

Oh yeah, and I only use hitch mount bike racks because of this. My 90 still has a small dent in the roof from my indecent. Luckily the bike took the brunt of the force and this was before my bike was worth more than the car.

i believe my friend Clint (maybe you know him?) has a rear window. We parted a couple 220v's and he has a glass removal tool, and I think saved glass from them. I will check.

Dude!

I would definitely not part with the car for that. Get a rear window and then deal with the rest later. The dent isn't so bad... but yeah take that thing to the right shop and I bet they can get most of it out and then fill the rest as needed. A little paint, and you'll be back on your way!

That dent can be fixed easily, the sucky part is it looks like you need paint too. The hard part would be repainting since it's pearl. Nothing money can't solve.

Update: Glass sourced for $100 removed (non-quattro script though) and getting it installed for $80 today. Not bad!

Glass is NLA and lists for nearly a grand.

I'll live with the body work since that's completely out of the question money-wise. Maybe someday in my dreams when I decide to put box fenders on it and get a full paint job.
