I'll let you know what the adjuster says.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Fri May 23, 2014 9:14

So the adjuster thinks that most of the damage can be fixed paintless dent repair. The bumper and left headlight lid will need to be repaired and painted. His total estimate was $1700 but we will see that the paint places say I think it is going to be more.

My new driveshaft came in from Mazdatrix. I plan to swap it out tomorrow. I will also be replacing the rear tranny seal.

The car is going into the shop June 9th. I'm going to have them fix the few imperfections in the paint at the same time.

Good luck. I hope it comes out even better than when you first got it back from the last paint shop.

Glad it's getting taken car of. I'm sure it'll look great.

The shop has good reviews and was a recommended shop with my insurance. It seems like all the big shops use waterborne paint now so I hope the can match it flawlessly.

I'm dropping the car off at the shop in the morning to get fixed.

Glad to hear! The countdown begins..

It looks like I should have the car back either the end of this week or the beginning of next.

I'm also finally having the cowl repainted.

Looks like the car is going to take longer than planned. PDR says they can't get to the back side of dents so the car will need a repaint. The paint shop is in contact with the insurance company and is waiting for the adjuster to go out to the shop. I will post as soon as I hear back.

Wow, that sucks. Maybe better long-term though (glass is half-full).

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Wed Jun 11, 2014 9:14

That's the way I'm trying to look at it.

Engineers would tell you the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

That sucks, Chris.

The car was dropped off at the paint shop this morning. Went to Mr Body Shop. I should see the car in two weeks or so.

I need to get a clear bra put on the car immediately so I don't end up with any rock chips again.
