    Sill repair

    Hi all. Happy New year's

    Have a question
    My insurance exsess is $450. Is it worth going through my insurance to repair this or just pay myself?
    What would be a fair guess on the repair cost of this

    if you dont just want to bog it its a bit of a bugger to do. if you happy to paint it yourself you can buy a pin pull kit off ebay that will pull most of it out then have it for keeps.. I recommend welding flat plate to the underside of your sliders or this will happen again and again. I have flat plate on the bottom and checker on the top of mine to deal with this.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I think a repair like this done professionally will be around the same price as the excess, if not a fraction cheaper. I am amazed at how quick a panel beater will pull out a dent like this one.

    Take the slider off yourself to make it cheaper if that helps
