If I was any dumber I'd be dead. I was on my way to my fathers house coming from work. I was on my merry way down my favorite windy country road, I may have been going a little fast, hit a patch of dirt on the road, and lost it a little. I overcorrected away from the cliff on one side (thank god, I guess) and that spun me into the wall of dirt on the other side. I hadnt been drinking or anything but apparently I was going a little fast.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good body shop around Lincoln in maybe Auburn or Rocklin?

Oh, here are some pics you can poke fun at.

 

oh man that sucks

the only body shops I would recommend are over here in Rrancho Cordova or Folsom

 

Yeah, I would like to be able to take it somewhere a little further away but I want try and get it fixed myself and not have an insurance claim. That means I have to pay for the towing myself.

 

You IDIOT!


Why would you ruin such a beatfl car?>

 

outch! That hurts looking at it.

 

Oh, she will be back on the road. Dont worry.

 

It's a girl!!?!?!?!

What's her name?

 

What are they called? Today my car door got smacked. Life is wonderful.

 

I can't offer a whole lot of bodyshop advice, unfortunately; I've had mediocre expereinces with shops in the Placerville area, which doesn't help.

Please let me know if you're going to toss that front bumper skin; I know it's a bit mangled, but we could use it on one of our shop cars if you're not going to reuse it. Not trying to be a vulture; let us know if you need help getting ahold of any parts for the rebuild, as we can get factory stuff as well, for good prices.

 

She doesnt have a name. Maybe I should call her Lady Luck.

 

I actually already have it pulled off. If the insurance doesnt want to take pictures with it on you can have it. I'm keeping the k4rt3oy fog brackets though. I will let you know.

Also, I was thinking that I may be able to do some of it myself so I may need to get some parts. I will need to see what all is going to be involved. I have the feeling it would be better handled if I were to just let a shop do it. Quicker too.

Thanks.

 

Well, I got her into the shop. Cooks Collision in Carmichael. I tried to send it to thier Roseville office but they were full so they transfered me to the Carmichael one. They came recommended by a mechanic I was refered to. I will post pics when I get it back.

Aaron, I talked to the body shop and they said that I can have the bumper skin back so if you still want it I will grab it when I go in to visit the car in the ER. I will let you know.

 

Excellent, glad you got it someplace good

Thanks, dude, you rock

 

my cobra is at cooks collision in roseville right now. they are one of the top shops in the area but them and my insurance company are seriously givin me the run sround right now and its pissin me off. soonest ill get the car back is 3 weeks, but i bet itll be a good 5-6 weeks before i get it. good luck bro!
