Had the intial report today from my VW garage....It's looking very fixable.

Going to need work on the front panel, 2 x rear corners, engine lid, rear valance and a rear bumper. Not touch the chassis

Just waiting for 100% go ahead from the insurance company.

Not going to get it back until Christmas

Balls , !

But atleast its all going to get sorted and they are not going to write it off

Try to get that blue sticker on the engine lid replicated as i thought that was cool ,

Hope it all goes well Matt , is it at a VW place or just a good body shop

It's with my VW place/garage. Been loyal to them for over 15 years, they more m8's really.
Will do a f*cking good job and are really busy, hence why it's going to take 3 months to get my bus back

Sounds like some good news then - be worth it when you get it back

Vans been stripped and inspected. Looks like the damage may not be as bad as first thought. The front wheel saved the front and the rear looks like it was saved by the tow bar.











Should have the assessor sign off the various quotes and work should be able to start next week. So he could be back for Brighton. Fingers Cross

 

[sparkywig]

That's good news Matt.

 

[Grazy]

Sweet mate , hope it all pans out well ! 8)

 

[Airtime]

Very happy to have my bus back. It's only been 10 weeks. Repair work has been done very well, the "aging" looks spot on (sort of).

 

[sparkywig]

Looks good Matt.
