Can anyone recomend a garage that could give me an estimate for fixing the Fiero?

Paragon had an argument with the insurance company and are refusing to do the work now

Do you know what needs doing? Is it simply parts replacing, or more to it?

the question is why did paragon fall out with the insurer?

I think its parts replacing. and of course body work.

Insurance company wont pay storage and apparently told paragon this but paragon still trying to charge storage. seems to be just a lack of comunication.  Of course I knew nothing of this untill this morning when I got a message from paragon saying they refuse to repair the car and are sending it back to me...I thought eveything was going well.  

As allways it the customer that loses out

Made a quick shopping list for all the parts I fink I need £560ish inc delivery all from Fierostore.com

Not bad considering that includes a fender.

Though I've found a fender on E-Bay for $28 hopfully the guy will reply about shipping

Gonna take the wheel off Sunday see what I can see.

Well took the wheel off and had a look. I appears to be just the knuckle/spindle thats bent If it is I might be very very lucky.  I've ordered a new one......fingers crossed

Not a clue.  Ask on the AACI - Finlay may know.

less than 24hrs after I asked for it. Have to say can't fault the insurance company...............yet

I amazed they didn't write it off as soon as they saw the quote from paragon tbh.  Over the worth of the car thats for sure.

Though a big part of me is still expecting the again.
