my rio verde project

[johnny]

That sucks do you think it's repairable or a write off?

[andy w]

If I did the work myself mate and was in the air todo it in a garage then ye I cud repair it as I need an axel suspension rear drum new handbrake cable and shocker and spring but otherwise doubt it will be on the road as the insurance will rite it off mate which has pissed me off more than anything but its a waiting game now with the insurance and what they

[andy w]

heres some pics of the damage its worse than I can put.in pics

[johnny]

I'd say 200 would fix that bar the body work, but as you said I'm probably missing out on things

An axle can be changed on the ground though and there not overly hard to do or expensive atm

Hope it goes well for you anyway mate

For just second hand parts it comes to £150 but then need to collect and the time to fit but its the respray that wud sting tbh and to add on top the price of two doors as mine have been creased where she went up the car

[andy w]

So spoke to the insurance and got a courtessy car off them until its all sorted and claiming for whip lash aswell. So this is the car I got as a like for like hire car

[johnny]

Pity it's not the fiesta what an awesome courtesy car though best hire thing I ever got was a 90 something mondeo

[andy w]

Tellin me mate lol last one I ever had was a micra so big difference the best part was I was supposed to get a five door corsa but the focus is better than nothing lol

It sucks, any idea how much you'll be getting for whiplash? Broady is selling his B if you were after another.

Just buy your more door back buddy say youve just done clutch, brakes service, everytging, youll get abit more money then itll cost like 20% of your money to buy it back
