[chrisy1.6sr]

[skidmarkz]

looks dead tbh, could get away with new front end, wing, innner wing if the chassis rails are still straight

[chrisy1.6sr]

[John]

Rest of car looks to good not to repair!

[skidmarkz]

[skidmarkz]

a lot by the looks of it...

thats what i was thinking industrial estate, that much damage ? wither your car was a rot box, or you was having fun :)

[skidmarkz]

[Royston]

Sorry to hear of your mishap:( , damage looks severe enough to twist the chassis, is the roof kinked, looks as if it is.

Think it's probably dead

[chrisy1.6sr]

[John]

I'd be interested if ever you wanna sell it. Like i said, gutted for you!

[chrisy1.6sr]

just been out to have a look the a pillar is kinked at the bottom. think im going to reshell it

[GTI-6]

Sorry to hear your news mate, thats gutting, but on the up side, look forward to watching you rebuild it in the projects section :D

[pob]

Because your insurance company will see this as an "old car" they will probably write it off even if it was repairable.
You should be able to buy it back for scrap value and claim the full amount of what you have it insured for and fix it yourself....................unless you're 3rd party only?

[Cle]

:cry: First thing i looked at when i signed in :(

[chrisy1.6sr]

im only 3rd party:cry: getting a new shell today with a seized engine so going to use my engne in that for the time being then hopefuly after christmas look for a mint shell to reshell the gte

Was talking to a cop on my way home from karting while i was waiting for the road to be cleared, been a lot of carnage this weekend

[Connor]

shame to see another clean nova sent to the car heaven........
:cry:

[Lynsey]

Damn :( I feel really bad for you, even worse for your tidy lil' Nova. Glad you're ok though. Hope you can reshell it cheaply enough.

[Steve]

Gutted for you mate, it was almost 3 years ago I killed my yellow sr, and that was just in the wet. The roof on that was kinked as well.

At least most parts are intact and you can get it rebuilt.

[thedjse]

Gutted for you mate looked a lovely motor hopefully the engine will live on :thumb:

[Jack]

Yeah, saw one accident and a few near misses on the way home also. And it wasn't that icy heading south!

Car looks a mess, shame as it seemed quite tidy.

[Jonny Martin]

Yikes! Gutted for you mate! I kept away from the road with the snow/ice about on purpose!

[Dod]

I think the most important thing to remember is that you're only out the price of the car and not your life, nor anyone elses. You were lucky mate.

[robertdevlin69]

agree wit dod,hard luck mate

[stuartyj21]
