tshirt2k Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 chassis leg was probably hit straight but the bumper reinforcement panel probably took the force then bent the chassis leg inwards. Bit like what happend to mine. should be a fairly cheap repair as no airbags have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Before bidding I would definitely want to have a good look. The chassis leg, instead of crumling as it's supposed to has moved across. That's the main issue, other than that I would be poised over the "submit bid" button. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 The chassis leg, instead of crumling as it's supposed to has moved across. Its not been hit head on.Thats why its not crumpled.Still at £900, wish Emma would say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Its not been hit head on.Thats why its not crumpled.Still at £900, wish Emma would say yes.Yup exactly. But without seeing it you can't tell if you've got any movement further up the leg past the end section which you can easily replace.

Adam K Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 well personally if i was bidding on it and won then i'd strip it and keep the engine and gearbox for myself, then sell everything else. even if you won it for 2k and took the engine and box from it, i bet you could still strip it and sell everything else and still make your money back.

jacko1066 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have been to look at it today its not as bad as the pics make it out to be i have bidded on it and hopefully it wont go for too much if i manage to get it im going to have a gti engine and box for sale which has been welded up to a very good standard only problem is theres no xenons style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> whats a good limit to go to for this ??Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I would think £1500 would still make it a bargin, even if it costs £2000 to put right (id be very supprised if it cost anywhere near that)I think theres a grands worth of parts, plus labour and paint.Remember if you cant find two working xenons, your looking over a thousand pounds from the dealer if the controlers were damaged/missing.How much do you want for your engine and box?

jacko1066 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 i know when i rang sealers a while since to price sum xenons up i just laughed at them (good job he knew me) but i suppose i have a slight advantage im in the motor trade and get most bits cheap and my dads a painter as well so that should save a few penniesjust hope it doesnt go for stupid money it has bent the leg but i also have a jig as well if it did require that if all else fails i might be willing to brake , also the old engine and box ecu etc if i do sell i am willing to listen to offersCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
