For all you guys that like the cars Original. For Sale Full set of recently refurbished standard wheels with the wider rears currently on my N/a they are near mint and come with almost new Bridgestone S02's all round see pics Looking for sensible offers as tyres alone quite pricey lol.

Finally got engine out a few days ago it really is just a shell left now and not even a rolling one I miss my car :( should have used the wheelie bin to hold her up

That is one crap day and I feel for you Glad you got it home though sounds bit like when my gearbox went and I waited 3 hours for rac to turn up tell like u said what u already know then a further hour to pick me up charged me 300 odd quid and the first recov truck dumped me off at services 40miles from destination at 3am freezin my *****cks off had to wait over hour for another truck to take me lol just look on the bright side you didn't have to pay the hefty fee and your car didnt blow up :)

lwb

Garth I see your in Aberdeen thats pretty close to me if you buy a auto I have a Manual box and a nearly new clutch I am currently braking my TT and my na whats your budget for car?.

I agree I travelled over 500miles to find a good one and u need to make sure the sills and underneath is sound as i know a few people been caught out by this it is more important to have a solid chassis and a few things needing done to car than a nice looker with fred flinstone floor beneath you....

Braking 1990 Jap Twinturbo Lots of parts available already off 99 spec lights Rear light centre panel headlights with HID kit Twin dump Valves Plazma Glow clocks Red and Black interior seats door panels etc full all other plastic interior Aluminium Radiator as new Will be removing engine gearbox etc within the next few days Gearbox is manual with 2 month old +25% organic clutch 2000miles 1 piece Prop shaft 2 months old 2000miles Engine with Nearly new Cambelt kit waterpump lightweight pulleys all new belts from stillen please pm if you would be interested in anything I will list stuff separately when removed if no interest is registered.

Ok so sorted everything with insurance got car back delivered late this afternoon and spent the evening doing this Have someone coming to help tomorrow who knows what there doing to get engine gearbox etc out anyone interested in any interior panels let me know

zed racer ok I can see me forgetting and loosing track of things so if u just msg me next week sometime I should hopefully have it on my drive to strip and will try and prioritise bits that come off.

no mate this is there last and final offer its there forth i sent last cheque back lol

I will give u first refusal on lock bar.

Mondo ok well I will hopefully get things sorted this week and i think i am going to get the car moved to my home to strip but once done can let u know its a driftworks one as new only seen 80miles use :(

Ok so I have now heard back from the insurance who had a company from east Kilbride carry out intendant assessment/valuation Car was valued at £3995 not the best but I think i will be ok My excess is £600 though so Car been classed a cat B I think I am going to take the £3395 and I can buy the car back from them and will strip for parts what do you guys think, I would advise anyone who dosn't have an agreed value on there car to get one so your not left in situation that I am and i,m sure many others have been in so if i do this I will have some good parts to list Ie manual gearbox and new clutch, driftworks lock bar race radiator etc be looking to get back as much as I can so if anyone wants anything let me know.

Thats nice would look nice in my garage till I get another car lol I think I seen a sub with either that exact one or a very similar one just recently wasn't quick enough with camera though.

Anyone fancy given a car away lol can do a trade I'm proper stuck in limbo with no car just got loads of bits now na and tt 2cars not one road worthy :(

Yeh I think I am more leaning towards Buying another as not sure even repaired I would trust it again unless I went to the extreme of Replacing everything underneath from my n/a plus new brakes etc etc by which point I be running a bill far higher than buying another one I just wish the insurance would hurry up as I have seen a few that would be worth a look at least knowing my luck will get money through and be nothing for sale lol.

I am attached to the car but there is been attached and been like you said a viable repair ie if it would cost me more to repair than the insurance pay me out hope fully I will know within the week I might not be able to get everything off I want cos of time and effort would really like the gearbox/clutch but think that's pushing it time wise, cheers for your help though I just wasn't sure I was able to remove stuff from car thought it had to go as is without missing bits lol.

groover if it gets scrapped how much can I get away with stripping off it without replacing?.. Ive already taken off coil overs as they had only done about 80mile lol

To be honest groover sounds bad but I would a preferred to have broken something and for car to be a little less wounded Not sure I have the fight to have it repaired or if its even worth it just need wait see what insurance are going to do.

also this one though unsure if the kit is genuine or someone just messin about with photo anyone know ?..

found this convertible I think it looks really nice from this angle if had the money would buy

Cheers guys police not interested as no cctv or nothing and the 3-4k is mainly body work and painting plus parts it needs front bumper rear wing door side skirt chassis pulled straightened and both front hubs are bent, buckled I have already turned down first two offers from insurance I have made them send an independent assessor out to value car been over a week since the assessor looked at car don't know if that's good or not If I get a decent price might just look for another one as I have a feeling components underneath damaged to control arms etc could run very costly to repair so I trust her again :(

I have no idea how I didn't smash any glass not even the headlights ...

Ok so i'm finally ready to tell my short story and put up my photo's of my wounded car been really depressed ever since the incident especially as wasn't my fault, It was about 2 ish weeks ago now and an early sat morning and quite wet a flash shower I had just come over a railway bridge single lane round a tight left bend in second started to accelerate and out of nowhere met a focus hurtling towards me middle of the road bearing in mind this is a back road not very wide and a slight bank to left and a drop to train tracks I instinctively swerved to miss the oncoming car clipped side I think front wheels dug in to the grass verge and car started to slide hit verge went air borne took out two fences still spinning drivers side impact hit tree and landed wedged between tree and fence back wheels on the edge of the drop to the train tracks, I saw the other car stop and then take off the police found glass at scene(not mine) but its my own insurance job, on looking at pics car doesn't look to bad and didn't initially but the chassis is damaged I am told its fixable but the insurance have now classed car as a write off and I just don't know if I should be fixing it or not as the underside of car apart from damage is solid and rust rot free and I do love the car and if don't fix will be buying another one But even just cosmetically its going to cost me around 3500-4000 then there is the chassis and whatever else might be bent I guess I am lucky as could have ended up on train tracks etc but all can think of is how Fu***d my car is and that I wish had hit other car head on stop them from going anywhere. just behind car is 20 odd vertical drop :(
