Well after 9 weeks, been in the body shop for 7, it looks like I'm finally gonna get my ute back this Thursday. Time will tell if I'm gonna keep it long term but I'll give it a go. Think the final repair bill was in the region of $15K it was touch and go whether they were gonna write it off, part of me wishes they had. Got a few ideas for future upgrades, firstly a decent alarm with tracking, and some new rims. Later exhaust and maybe the turbo. Be good to get a car back anyway. Had to use the bike all this time.
