Agreed! I'd probabily forget about the insurance company and go it on your own to get it fixed. This way the vortex remains off the "repairable write off" list, its like a black mark against a vehicle I reckon. You've got the daily to keep you moving so its not like you're stuck for a carSuparoo wrote:Nah that'll buff out.
That doesnt look all that serious, i was expecting much worse.
A good panel beater will be able to straighten out the subframe and fix er up good
Its a shame that you swerved, but after looking at the pics I reckon the roo would've done more damage...
Chin up and all the best with the rebuild, it'll be tough but worth the effort!

I fell for you h-top. That was a fine car, and hopefully will be again. Roo's sound like a real big broblem for you guys, its hard to imagine from my side of the world. I have the same problem with deer and elk. I've had all 4 locked up at highway speeds more than once last winter. Damn things will step onto the road and freeze. I dont steer around at speed as I would rather take out the animal instead of something else and only hope they dont come thru the windshield. Good luck getting your car sorted out.
I just come accross this one if anyone is interested:

That's cool man! glad it worked out! Just do me a favour and don't put a lift kit under it!
Does that mean you may have some parts from your wrecked one? I guess you are probably going to keep it for spares no?
Oh, and the above mentioned wreck at lismore, I went and checked IT out today, It was 2wd NA Auto & it's trashed, all windows and sunroof out so it is full of leaves & sticks, even a chicken living in the boot!! Discs are gone (someone must have thought it was 4wd), engine gone, interior stuffed and now missing a towbar and original radio It does have air conditioning (no comp.) though, which I imagine would be hard to find if you wanted it.

Awesome, that miss would be "fixable" im sure, its either spark plugs or ignition (tension) leads.
