My Peugeot 205gti (Dimma) Restoration

[dimma205]

I've had a dc5 before so its a option.

[dimma205]

Now decided to hold onto it and git few things up my sleeve for it.

[dimma205]

Sadly the car got rear ended today and in hands of insurance.

[dimma205]

Fair bit of damage got to wait for insurance assessment but its got a very good agreed value.

[dimma205]

Yeah got to wait to see if insurance will fix or write off then i can possibly buy back and use insurance payout to repair.

[dimma205]

She will bounce back one way or another

[dimma205]

If insurance dont repair i will be as will buy back and use the insurance money to fix as its got a agreed value put too much into this so cannot let it go to scrap or anyone else.

[dimma205]

Just got to wait for insurance to do thier bit and pay out allrwady sourced most of parts so she will bounce back.

[dimma205]

Biggest problem is getting parts new i can source them but they aint from mainstream suppliers so doubt insurance will deal with them

[dimma205]

Off to bodyshop on Wednesday

[dimma205]

I have sourced all new genuine panels for the repair myself and the insurance company are paying for them i have to send receipts etc also they are not sending a asser as its going to a bodyshop of my choice so they just require the estimate from bodyshop to pass to claims department then will give nod.

[dimma205]

Getting fixed with all new genuine oem parts by insurance so wont be registered as not being written off the joys of a high agreed value.

[dimma205]

Sorry that should have ment it will not be recorded
