The insurance is going to accept my estimate for parts and I get paid for some of my labor on top of it minus a $500 deductible. It looks like all of the parts are off the shelf so maybe it won't take too much time to get it back together. The only item they balked at was new rings but, the guy put in a fudge factor to cover them and they agreed not to close the claim yet so, if I find other damage I can get it inspected and included.

Good day all in all

Gud news Dave!!! i wish you luck on the build up...and even more luck getting your girl back in the car!!
say hello to all from us!

great news buddy!

Now you know this isn't the end to this story..........

It's a start. Too bad you couldn't get reimbursed by the guy that ran you off the road.

At least they are working with you.

Good to keep the claim open.

Can you have a BBQ on fire-up day? Have a bunch of nutty 914 folks down for the event?

OMG!

So glad to hear it.

What about the body damage Dave? Mine goes in on Friday for a little unibody tug.

Dave, thats great news.
I think we have every part in stock, get them ordered and send your other dynamic parts in for balance match and we'll get right on it.

Sweetness!
Its great to see money going the other way with an Insurance company.
How bout a plug for the company?

well, i've been holding my breath for you dave.

i also don't mind hearing which insurance companies live up to their responsibilities.
(no praise until your car's back and running though).

Woohoo! Maybe some respect is finally coming to our little racecars!!

Awesome news Dave!

Great news!

So WTF happened since I am hearing the end of the story?

We may never know the full details behind this incident, but suffice it to say, the cover story of a "near-accident" is standard procedure to protect the 914 World operatives who risked their lives to protect the Prime Minister during his recent visit to the WCR.
