well, one of the daughters of my fucked up neighbor backed into my 81 
rabbit with their mini van tonight (and then quickly parked the 
minivan in their driveway) at this point i'm sure from an insurance 
point the car will be totalled, but i want input from anyone who has 
built up/restored a car and then had to deal with another insurance 
company when  it was damaged by another driver

the car is an 81 4dr rabbit, 16v conversion, suspension, painted 2 years ago.
the damage will require a hood, fender, cabriolet front bumper, mk1 
scirocco grille, , core support, turn signal......

any tips on how to fight their insurance company (which i know is 
going to lowball me , and i know my asshole neighbor cant pay me for 
what the damage estimate will be)

i'm sure the insurance company doesnt see it this way, but as i see 
it all sheetmetal parts that were damaged need to be replaced and 
repainted to match the rest of the car, and i'm going to try to get 
estimates on the parts that are no longer available new........only 
good thing about this is that i can probably get an estimate tommorow 
from the body shop at the dealership where i work tommorow...

any help would be appreciated
thanks

please respond to me via personal email since i'm not on the daily list format
