So the damages came to $20,241.13 w/tax, so Bad Dolphin wins the guessing contest! It will take 4 weeks to complete.
I asked the shop if they’d be willing to send photos of the entire restoration so I could post them on forums. That serves two purposes, one is that they get some good marketing and second is that I get confidence they are doing a good job. Before I even finished asking they said they thought it was a great idea, so one more confidence boost. If they were going to cut corners I suspect they wouldn’t have agreed.
Other than paint I imagine they’re just bolting all new parts on, so maybe nothing to see like aluminum welding or anything, but if anyone’s interested I can start a new thread of those images once they start coming in.
It’s funny, it’s like watching someone go into surgery; my app lost the car at 9:08am yesterday when they disconnected battery, so it’s like the car is on anesthesia.
