Dropped the car in to the panel beaters this morning and by lunchtime
- they had the door off/open (without destroying it)
- now they can see it is clearly accident damage so there should be no issues with the insurance claim
- there is some other repair that needs to be done before they can put a new latch on
- replacement latch will be on it's way from the North Island later today
- If all goes smoothly (and here I note that precious little of anything has gone smoothly this week ) I should have the car back sometime Friday
- meanwhile my mode of transport is bicycle with the attendant complaints from leg muscles and reminders of how out of condition I am.
