Ryan:
If you have insurance with a classic car insurer, you may be best to go to someone who specializes in repairing classics. Have him give you an estimate for fixing the damage caused by the pick up and also a separate invoice for doing the rust repair that you need. Hopefully, he won’t be able to fix the pick up damage without also fixing the rust damage so it will all be covered. A classic car insurer is more likely to pay a higher cost to fix. You insurer will then subrogate against the pick up’s insurer. Since you are not at fault, the insurer cannot base any rate increase on this accident.
If you don’t have classic car insurance take it to a shop that you want and again get the two estimates. Notify the insurer for the pick up about the shop you choose and hopefully he can meet you there and work with your shop on the cost to repair. The pick up insurer will pay for the damage caused by the pick up and you can then negotiate with the shop to do the rust repair.

Not enough coffee. That wasn't meant to go out. Happy Tuesday, all. And Ryan, we feel your pain. I concur with Ed about the insurance! Good luck. On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 9:14 AM, Jane Lamb <jel1964@...> wrote: Clever response.

Jim, thank you for the update. Clearly, I had missed that turn.

Pete and Ryan, To: Philly_MG_Club@... Ryan,
Last summer, Mark Johnson recommended Bill Snyder of Conshohocken Collision after a parking valet t-boned a Nissan Ultima with our roadster. Bill did a good job with the body work and paint job; and he did the work in a reasonable time frame. Bill is also a Philly MG Club member. 1-610-825-4141
Also, thanks for the tip about the MGA on craigslist. We tried for it, but the owner didn't call us back. When we called again the next morning, she had a buyer inspecting the car while she took our call. I hope the lucky buyer was a fellow club member. --
