Good to see you taken it to my mate Glen's shop he's the Landrover expert.

My dad and one of my best mates are landrover nuts, they love the 2.25 motors my mate droves his 61 2.25 series 2 alway to botom of south island was about 4 tanks of gas from memory

The landrover 2.25 motors are pretty good for what they are, you can also run the 2.25 diesel out of the discoverys as there same motor just converted to turbo diesel.

Insurance has paid me out at last so will be wreaking the coupe, if anybody is after parts let me know. will be looking for another oldschool nissan/datsun at some point in the new year.

Has been written of and have been paid out now, i got to keep the wreak so will be wreaking it. if anybody is after parts let me know.

As of today got my 2nd valuation back at $15,000 same as my first one. Now State insurance want a fourth valuation paid for by them as they dont believe my two to be correct! even though the valuations were done by registered valuers and one valuer i used was one of states prefured valuation companys. They are sticking by there first valuation of $7000. I was told by State i needed 3 valuations the first one they paid for and two i pay for if i was un happy with the first one they had done. So now i think its time to get fair go involved as they just keep moving the goal post's! Its been 6 months since the driver crashed in to my garage and i have done all they asked but they still dont want to pay me what car is worth.

They can shrink if they are out of the car for a while, try leaving it in the sun on a hot day as it should soften it up so it can be streched easyer. ados f2 spray glue is what we use at work for gluing trim back down, just make sure you not going to need to pull it out again as it can be hard to get things un glued if you need to move them.

yeah still waiting to find out what im gonna get for it, it could still be a repair so im not selling parts yet. i could be keen to sell it as a complet car. but planning on keeping suspension and brake's hubs for next project am planning on getting another old rwd nissan or datsun.

Insurance has written it of and will pay me out in next month or so, when they decide on how much it is worth after going over the two valuations i have had done. i get to keep the wreak but they have de registered as part of the rules so there is no point in fixing it now, so will have parts for sale soon if anybody needs r31 bits?

after almost 5 month the insurance has written my coupe of and is going to pay me out in next month or so, only good new's is i get to keep the deregistered wreak so will have parts for sale soon if anybody's in need of r31 parts.

well after two months the insurance has said my coupe is a write off, have a pre accident valuation tomorrow afternoon, they valuer didn't seem to think it was worth more then $3000nz over phone. will need to get another two valuations done by more clued up valuers if they come back with a low valuation. last one sold for about $20,000 on trademe, so i think mine was worth at least 15g

True yeah that safari used to stand out, the painter at my old shop painted when we had our works end of year piss up few years back, prob should of waited till we were sober to choose the colour. I ended up getting a minter swb with no rust.

Have just heard from the insurance that the tender for fixing garage door is over and they have a guy who's gonna come fix it, so maybe in next couple of weeks will be able to access the car and get it assessed at my work. I can fix it at work will just depend on what insurance values it at and if can get parts. My boss said he will get the painter to give it a full respray if its not a write off so might come out better of then went in to this mess.

So this happened last saturday, a learner driver lost control on corner of my road and crashed through the garage door pushing my skyline two meters forward hitting another parked car and had lot of tools fall on it of the shelf's next to it too. The driver had full cover insurance, so now i play the waiting game to see if it be repaired or written off.

Hey dont know if you seen them or not but there is couple of these down at smash palace in horopito, there rusty as but think one may have a motor in it still. may have more parts in the many parts sheds they have too.
