Gauging interest here for my car: damaged/repaired

[Jimi137]

Hi every1

Ive just had a bump in my car and i seriously looking at whether i can afford any more cash to go on it considering im already a grand in debt with my parents. The damage is not too and and easily fixable for about 250 - 300 quid (quote from a local garage). I have two options available to me atm:

Either try and sell the car as it is (undrivable and damaged so u will need a trailer or something) as either a cheap repair or for spare parts

OR

Get the car repaired myself and sell it as a fully working car

It is a 2000 X reg 1.2 16valve GLS in dark green (the special colour thing) and has only done 58k (lower than average) miles

Im looking for some sensible offers here to try and judge which is the most cost effective way to do this. Either PM or post prices in here. Don't worry, if you offer me it is not a cast iron purchase contract, im just using it as an idea

[roperstun]

well if you tell is the damage we might have a better of idea of what your trying to sell

give us 20 and me n ma mate will take it off your hands , carl , you got a towrope ?

[roperstun]

nah i dnt tony and the front end is the only good bit and hes fcuked it

[T10NY-R]

hmm, looks like your debt is on the rise mate , the ressesion aint gonna help you either (y)

best get the push bike out imo.

[roperstun]

mite av to get in touch with the gay for parts then fix it up for him for some money im sure we do it cheaper then a garage

[T10NY-R]

lmao , get some pics up of the damage kid and me and the scientist here will quite you happy

[roperstun]

i reckon depending or bad it is we could do for half that quote n do a as good job

[Jimi137]

Lol i can't get pics atm cuz its in the garage car park. But what ive done is bent the front chassis member, cracked the suspension arm and mashed the hub and brake assembly. So i take it no one is interested in a corsa for parts then?

[T10NY-R]

its a 5door tho so not many people will get use from it , and it depends how mashed up it all is ,, does the engine still run without overheating, how mashed up is the hub and breaks, must be one humungi of a hedge u piled it into.

[roperstun]

y are you going to pay a garage 300 quid for that?

get yourself down to a scrappy and get the parts of a corsa wnt cost u much and do it urself simples

[Jimi137]

I havent got the tools or the know hom to bend my chassis back out and replace the hub and things. Im competent but i aint a mechanic. And yeh the engine runs fine - absolutely do damage what so ever to it. In fact absolutely no damage to the rest of the car apart from the front left wheel assembly.

[roperstun]

jst go to a scrappy with a mate and jst strip everytink i need of a corsa then it shld be straight 4ward. im sure if u need help i cld assist

[T10NY-R]

get the hubs and breaks and that from scrappy , to bend the chasis , repair the rest of it , then either get a 4x4 to pull it out , altho this is likely to drag u along , so perhaps tie the back to somthing , or wrap a rope around a big tree , an the car an reverse.
