thats a lot of damage for £6k, be realistic and you might sell it for between £3.5k - £4k

[fezzasus]

I'd pay 6k before the damage.

[Steamy]

Parts it is then. Shame to do that to a HPI clear car with FVSH etc.  But so long as your conscience can handle it! lol

[leevx2.2]

I would say fix it and sell it for top money then ,easy fix really :-)

You're right, but really could do without the hassle.  I'll see how selling as it is pans out.  I don't have the passion for it that you guys have.  That said,  I will jack it up when it's dry and have a proper look at what's bent.  It still drives perfectly straight, so hopefully nothing too serious.  Bent track and busted strut maybe.

Show me a late 2003 HPI clear VX220 with Full Vauxhall Service History and 58K miles for £6K and you can have this one for 99p

 

That said,  I'll take your £3k if I can keep the wheels, engine, roof, both clams, rear lights and headlights

Nagh, my Duct tape is black  

 

Had it since Jan.  Drove it home like a beast 130 miles in the wet. 

 

Took her out today again in the wet and hit some grease.  Must have as she normally sticks like Sh!t to a blanket.

Barely any damage.  £500 if you do it yourself.  £2000 if you take it to Vauxhall.  Not doing insurance as they will pay CAP / Glass's price of £6000 and will then suffer high insurance costs for 5 years.  Respect to Vocky for his opinion, but seriously, this car is worth much more than that.  There is currently one in the Northeast that has been VERY shoddily repaired for 5.5K, 2 years older, 90K miles AND on the register.  This car is HPI clear, FVSH, Low Miles and otherwise immaculate apart for £500 DIY repair.

Well if anyone buys it I've got a silver drivers door for £175

Might take that off you if I keep it and repair.  I'm tempted to go the repair route as there is not much wrong and it defo not bent as it drives ok still.
