I have just got back from mechanic and the red lines highlight where it is bent. there also needs a replacement wishbone and 2 replacement rear control arms. fully fixable or not?


Is that not a red line underneath the side beam?

Thats cheered me up. Would be happy to do the subframe swap as well. Once rear clam is off it isn't 15 hours, I would do it with engine in situ, just strip exhaust and suspension off. Remember to use the jointing compound when you fit the new subframe. ACF50... have a tub here somewhere.

Hmmm. Never heard of that. I used a zinc primer on the shims and left it at that. Any compoud had long gone.

I've also got a set of standard shocks that have nothing wrong with them. If it turns out yours are damaged let me know.

What a great story. Good luck with the repairs. Hope it's as straightforward as it now appears. Is it too early to change the title to 'Whole VX saved with a few spare parts.'

[font="arial, sans-serif;"]What a great story.  Had a little scrape in mine today, that sounds similar.  I am selling my VX anyway & is advertised, but gutted I pranged her.  Anyone interested in saving another VX220 check her out, before I scrap her off for parts! (Joking)  :tt:[/font] 

 

[font="arial, sans-serif;"]She's for sale as a whole car if anyone is interested.  Could be a bargain to someone. Looking for £6000[/font]
