so yesterday we took the focus to the auto body shop.the estimate was $10200.00 total$2500-parts,$6000-labor,$1700-paint.since he dont have that kind of money,we decided to replace all the damaged parts on our own.we had the front,rear,and rear driver side door glass replaced for $470 yesterday.this morning i hit the junkyard,i bought the trunk lid for $150,bad thing is it's black,the focus is silver.driver side taillight for $25.shifter assembly for $24,rear seat back for $25.front and rear driver side inner door handles for $55 total.i installed all the parts today.the total price to get the car back on the road was only $749.

my brother plans on getting the bodywork and paint done at the end of the year when he has more money.the car looks good,considering what it's been through.i'll get some pics later,my batteries died when i tried to use the camera.

my brother thanked me.he's not too skilled with his handsi dont mind doing the work.the only messed up thing about it is that his wife (who's car it is)did not even say thank's,not onceoh well,i was helping my brother anyways.

Sounds like your Brother married into a real winning family there. What bothers me (aside from the obvious) is that YOU and YOUR BROTHER are going around, putting in your hours, and making things right, on YOUR TIME. You're a good enough guy to help him out but he shouldn't be doing anything. The brother in law should be taking care of all this leg work. And the person that should be driving him to do it is your Brother's wife. Its her family, her responsibility.

i totally agree.but,the in-law's are not very responsible,obviously.the wife say's they are going to make payment's on the car,but i know that's not going to happen.all i can do now is tell my brother what i think he should do.

Any idea why the insurance wouldn't cover a comprehensive claim? That's what vandalism should fall under.

Sorry if this has been addressed but didn't see it in my skimming...To the Insurance Carrier I don't think this would be vandalism and wouldn't be a covered claim as the people there were allowed into the house by the homeowner. Maybe some bending of the truth is in order, say it was a break in and kick the door jam!!! BS I know, but Adjusters are paid to nickel and dime.

This might be a homeowners/renters claim anyhow due to the fact the car was in the garage. Something to look into.
