General 2014 500 Resurrection from Copart salvage to on road

[jrkitching]

Plus by writing it off, the insurance company gets the salvage value (less selling costs), and in some circumstances the value of the remaining time left on the insurance policy.

For a younger driver and a recently taken out policy, the latter could be significant if the insurer won't transfer the remainder of the time left to another car. You need to read the small print carefully.

How is your project work going? Any updates?

I'm monitoring Copart prices and waiting for something interesting to come up at either of my local depots.

I want another Fiat, but not a 500, Punto or Panda. So i'm waiting for the low quantity models, basically something bigger, a Tipo, Fiorino, or Doblo people mover.

No updates yet, been working abroad this week so I’ll be back on it Monday, was waiting on a crank seal as I was supplied the wrong one and couldn’t find one locally, also ordered new brake sliding pins as the old ones were knackered, ordered ATE which were the wrong ones so hopefully when I get back tomorrow the correct Bosch ones will have arrived, didn’t realise that there were 2 different makes of callipers being fitted to these.

The hire car for 3+ weeks..

Some parts take months from Italy / FarEast

yes that’s likely it, there’s a three week wait to get a car into a body shop up here just now, possibly more in Glasgow
