smithyandco Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Stick a PI claim in... that will buy you a nice car regardless of the insurance money. I'd recommend Swift/Helphire group for the PI etc! (only because I know half the people working there... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortgti98 Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) just got off the phone to the engineer :thumb: the car is'nt a write off and is fixable, but i said i dont want the car fixed, and i'd like to keep it for spares so they keep 10% of the final amount and i get to keep my car so if i can find a decent model either gti or si 3dr (not in black) parts maybe up for you boys.... ......i dont blame all the vultures out there, "one mans scrap is another mans treasure".... and all that Edited December 21, 2007 by escortgti98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
