(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I found out when flat towing a bus a special tow bar is needed. You can't use the standard one that bolts to the frame. The frame isn't strong enough for the bolts. You need one that goes to the front axel on buses. It wraps around the axel and has bolts that go over top. 6K damage Attached image(s)

It has zero rust...mint interior (same door handles/window winders as a 914, has a 1.7 T4) ...even has the snap on leather wraps on the heat exchangers, 90K miles, I'm the third owner
Insurance company offered me 4k for settlement (less deductable & salvage value). I told them to go pound sand. I had it appraised by a independent classic car appraiser, he said it was a #3 and worth $9200 Were going to arbitration. Arbitration is when you can't agree on a value. You appoint a appraiser, they appoint one. If the two of them can not come to a value, a third is agreed upon and he decides the value. |

Can't do anything till the insurance is settled.
I can't use it till I can get it insured and I can't insure it till it passes a safety and it can't pass safey till it's repaired. Catch 22 I weld, in fact both boys can too so that's covered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Replace the nose was one option from a body shop, the other was replace 1/2 the nose. The third was split the panel and repair it from the inside, then weld the front part of the panel back in place. The fourth was cut a access hole in the inner panel so the power ram can push the front back out. Hey Britt...where's the pictures and the info? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
