There's a nice LE in there. Is it worth reshelling?

OMG Looks like it's damaged pretty much all over.
Hope you can sort it Kaci. It was a lovely coupe.

Just read this whole thread, I can't believe it & feel gutted for you. Looks terrible I hope you're feeling ok.

Really sorry to see this.

The size of the hail...

OMG! I was right

Injekciona, was your car also damaged? You were in Torino with your yellow Coupe, weren't you?

Yes, I was in Torino - the yellow Coupe with "Trip To Torino" decal on the windshield. My car is also damaged but not as much. Several major dents on the hood and on the roof and small dents on all other details.

Any body get seriously hurt? That sh!t is unreal!

Can't believe your luck Kaci, sorry if I jinxed it in a previous post

Those stones could have killed somebody!

The reports were quick to mention the explosion in insurance claims on car damage - just hope you can salvage something out of this.

That's unbelievable! im really gutted for you!!
Im sure you will sort it once again Kaci! it runs through your Veins!

Unbelievable, neveragain am i going to moan that my bonnet needs respraying after looking at your photos, hope you get what you deserve back from the insurance company, as least you have photo evidence of what it looked like before the meteors hit !!!

Some of these?

Yes, Coupé has a insurance, but it is unlikely to help for restoration.
Nevertheless, I will try at all costs to revive this car.
I will inform you what is happening.
I put and picture from the roof of Venice:


Cheers.

Kaci

I have only just seen this thread. What a disaster. I am very sad to see your car in this condition. Your car was a really nice example.

Frazer

Just seen this too, gutted for you. I have followed your thread for a while and your car was stunning, such a shame.

Thanks for the sympathy, guys.
I will do everything possible to restore the car.
I know it costs a lot of money and time, but I don't have a heart to kill LE Coupe.
Cheers.

Hi Kaci,
Sorry to read about the misfortune.
While you're restoring your lovely LE here's a picture to cheer you up

Kaci, I've just read this whole thread and am saddened to read of the hail damage. Very best of luck in bringing it back to life, it is (or was) a stunning car in the best colour! Chris

Hi forum, hi old friends!
After seven years I think it's time to write again in this topic
At the end of last year, the car was taken out of the garage where it had rested for six years

and work on body panels slowly began.
I send a Coupe to a dent repair company(PDR technology) and she's almost done.

I really wanted after the repair that there was no body filler on the panels and the videos show that this was achieved.

Some friends gave me a parts, others - helped find and transport them.


Last week I ordered and a full set silicone water hoses from TWINZ MOTORSPORT....
There is still a lot of work to be done, but the first few steps have been taken!
Be healthy and I hope to write again soon with a good news.
Cheers,
Kaci

Good heavens kaci, isn't it yours that was wrecked by giant hailstones soon after you had spent ages restoring it?

This has to rank amongst the highest echelons of coupé-loyalty!

Yes, a month after I came home from the 20th anniversary of the Coupe in Italy, the storm damaged Coupe.

Of course if I'd noticed you were continuing the same thread...

Hi Kaci,
Looking good. Nice car.
I am in Svilengrad since the beginning of this year. If you are in the area drop me a message and we can meet up.
Frazer

Hi Frazer.
We are about 200 miles apart, but if I travel to Svilengrad I will write to you!

Hi Kaci
Sounds good.
We maybe near Sofia at some point so will be in touch if we are near you.
Frazer

After several months waiting the hoses finally arrived!
I'm not impressed from their quality, but I will write an opinion when (if) I install them!
The UK's exit from the EU is creating problems for Coupe owners in Europe

Hard to beat Viper hose kits

Yes, I’ve been caught out myself, it was actually a group buy on here for a hose kit. Turned out it was not the bargain it was meant to be. Other things have been a stainless steel manifold that have stuck in my mind. Stick to proven known parts, then again it’s hard to sift out the duds at times.

On this date exactly 8 years ago, a Coupe was crushed by the largest hail I had ever seen
Two days ago a friend sent me some photos taken the day before I left for Turin for the 20th anniversary.


I have already bought a tailgate and the car can go to the paint shop soon.
I also have a gift from Japan!
