fekyo Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) What does everyone think I should do? I'm only 3rd party fire and theft, I think my only option is to break it for spares, the slam panel is fooked beyond repair I think, or am I wrong??? List of injuries on my car as it stands now are;destroyed front endsmashed headlightsbumper fookedsmashed/leaking main raddented air con raddestroyed bonnetdestroyed wingbottom arms almost shotonly 3 alloysand rust is creeping in a fair few places So its decision time! Is it worth trying to save or not?pics are thumbnails btw....http://thumbnails13.imagebam.com/3900/b48a1b38998645.gifhttp://thumbnails10.imagebam.com/3900/482dbb38998647.gif Edited June 14, 2009 by fekyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicnutter_1993 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Sorry mate, but i think its fooked. Maybe get it written off, recieve payout, buy it back and break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Buy another one and swap the parts over unless you know some one who will sort the slam panel out cheap, as that's the awkward bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelskas Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Damn thats busted. I recently had this fixed for a total of 270. I sourced the bumper and bonnet. They got a new wing, pulled everything out and painted it. If that cost 270 then Im guessing yours will be a write off. The red one we had fixed handles horribly now too. It just doesnt feel the same. So on that basis I wouldnt want it fixed. Although on the other hand will you be able to find another escort that you can cherish due to it being in great condition?

ScORTED Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 thats a write off for sure but as the insurance won't be apying out i'd say suck it up and buy yourself another, i hope you told them about your mods too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fekyo Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 yeah my insurance know about everything ive done to my car, i recently took out a new policy with adrian flux, im kicking myself though because a few months back i was fully comp on direct line, but they didnt know about my mods. to be honest i dont think ill buy another escort, unless i can get a 3 door rs2000/rs2000 4x4, which i doubt very much. this was my 2nd escort, blown 5 1.6 zetec engines, i love these cars soooo much but i hate them! i love how they look and how they drive and handle once lowered i just hate how much goes wrong so easily. hmmm what to do what to do???

ScORTED Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 even if he was FC would it be worth his NCB? or is he losing that anyway, guessing this was his fault, and just be thankful you had declared your mods before htis happened or you'd have been in a difficult position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort4x4 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 yeh its a write off buddy build it up n repair it, that way u learn about repair work and id say its cheaper den buying a new one, thats why we are graced with scrap yards, ample amount of escort parts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
