HELP ME PLEASE!

[Aurae10]

Ok, everyone, My Precious car has been hit and I have found previous damage (about a half inch of bondo) on the rear valence... AHH!! Is there ANYONE remotely close to me (Iowa City, IA) That would be willing to sell me the rear valence off their donor car (the area between the tail lights down to the valence) OR if you have a donor car you don't really care about can I just Hack off the rear foot of the car?! (don't need/want bumper)

 

Or if you know prices of body panels from VB or MSA please help cause I don't have time to order a catalog and the internet sites stink... THANK YOU!

 

 

(Here is the Story)

I get my 73' 240z, YAY! FINALLY!

Then I get it home and within a week I get it broke into (nothing stolen) and rear ended, AARRRGHHHH!!! (bought it for 900 so not a HUGE problem...yet)

The person who hits me, pays out of pocket but REFUSES to pay me...Only pays the shop that I goto... Well, the shop gets the car on the stand and starts drilling....and drilling, and hacking at the bondo...*cries* after they get through the bondo they try and straighten the rear valence (and support and rear floor board) by using the frame machine...tears the rear valence... ugh,

so they have to take that off the fix the buckled floor and support... $$$$$$$, the girl that hit me gave me 1800 and the shop WON'T give it back to me... (even if i pay for the work already done) and it will take like another 2k to get the car (my only car) back into shape if they use the old valence area

 

PLEASE HELP!

You need to contact a lawyer and see what your options are. You have to be carefull when just dealing with the person that hit you, there is no one to represent you if this sort of thing happens. I don't know what your options are but hopefully you have a family freind that can tell you waht you rights are and what to do. Sounds like a mess!!!
