Update: Just rang the guy, full log book service, LHS Damage "Quart Pannel pushed onto the wheel" and rear door damage.

Now, Just wondering will that be fixable (Ive got a mate that can do it for me if it is fixable)?

P.S: Thanks for your help plus I bags it if it is fixable ;oP

Quart Pannel pushed onto the wheel

hmmm... that all depends on how bad it's pushed.... could be a lot more work then (remember the engine and gearbox are only a couple of feet away) and then theres the steering and suspension

see if it is a statutory writeoff or a economical writeoff

for that price it should be a stat writeoff which means u will find it veeerrryy hard to register it again..if not at all

Yeah 4Pleazn is right, ring DPI and ask them. Would be a good source of parts. I might give him a buzz over the weekend

The biggest problem when buying wrecks it what you cant see. If the chassis is warped forget about it. If the firewall is damaged, forget about it and the list goes on.

Its amazing how easily it is to crack an engine component with an accident... I remember the gearbox bell housing was cracked when my old TS was written off by a drunk driver...

AussieMagna: If you do, can you tell me if it is a good purchase or not?
Thanks
