it is almost the same as your crash - seems a popular one

 

whats you opinion on the cost of repairing Mr.Peewee? i think it is too much compared to the value of the car, but im getting mixed responses

 

my opinion is to not repair, will cost plenty & will always have been in a shunt & still a 1.4.

 

thing is i dont have a clue what im doing, so couldnt do any of it myself

 

and i know i could get around £600 for breaking it, so is it an excuse to move on to something a bit faster....

 

Yes! :thumb:

 

the number plate is personalised and valued at £400 :P

however the previous owner wants the car back and is willing to pay £450 as it is

and yes a lot of the car is completely worthless

 

Take it. :thumb:

id buy another escort transfer the wheels etc and sell the plate to the guy you got the car off and then weight the car in for scrap you would get £80-£100 for the car depending on the scrap dealer. Unlucky about the crash everyone has had one at some point in there life.

without even looking under the bonnet im estimating around £600 worth of damage, and i just dont have the money to do that!!

 

i hit a pug 205, which hit a corsa - both of whom are good friends, then the corsa hit a volvo who i didnt know

 

205 - write off

corsa - write off

volvo - tinyest scratch i have ever seen - thats it!!!

 

 

flog the escort to the old owner and buy a volvo :P

 

but the thing is , if you cant afford to repair this , how are ya gonna afford summit faster and better ? :)

well i can afford either or really Paul :P

 

and i dont want to repair this and find there is more engine damge than first expected or something like that

 

and i can make a few bob out of the parts on this so not so bad :cheers:

 

i think i have found a car i want anyway, a bit faster, but not to very many peoples taste

Heya,

i have some of the parts you need to repair, if you decide to go that route.

Got:

Bonnet

XR / RS Bumper

Headlamps / Sidelights

Heres a pic of it the day i stripped the parts off it:

It was a 1994 1.6 Si, Mk5b, ash black.

I have broken it for parts due to head gasket going and it had done a fair few miles.

 

Let me know if you want any of those bits.
