as a bove really guys. need a new passenger front wing, new skirts and arch trims new door and new indictaor and the rear quarter needs beating out. Any phone numbers or anyone with parts preferably in rosso red would be a great help
cheers

Sounds like it'll cost a few quid to put right. Depending on the work you've put into it you may be better off to buy another one and break the damaged car to recoup some of the costs.

JimmyFlo

i just found a shell on ebay for 142 quid and its 90 spec so i might give him a email asking if hell take 250 for it

doesnt look too bad - shame to break it.

but if it costs to much to fix then fair enough!

Oranoco

Don't look too terrible but it'll be the labour and painting that'll cost the cash.

that shell on ebay looks a good buy

its your cheapest option mate and you can also sell the bits of your old shell to recoup the money.

JimmyFlo

do u think someone would want my shell. its a shame to have to scrap an rs

Shame mate

Easily fixed though...to be honest I wouldn't re-shell (I'd only consider re-shelling if you have a garage) its a lot of work to carryout!

Rossco

That dont look to bad at all mate, defently not worth reshelling it, a reshell is a massive job and loads of space is need.

Unless your shell is rotton, just get yours repaired, should think you would be looking at around £500-600 all repaired.

JimmyFlo

my worst fears have come true. the chassis is bent. 700 quid plus to get it fixed.
Plan A: reshell on the shell on ebay
Plan B: build a monstrous mk2 xr2 turbo with my mates old xr 2 shell

Rossco

Are you sure, i would not have thought shuch a light knock would have bent the chassis??

jayRS

who said it was bent? dont look that bad to me, new wing, s/h door and beat the rear panle out and paint it up. the other bits like skirt etc i would get off here or ebay/brakers or even try and fix them.
reshell sound to much for that, i would say go for the xr2 shell, but then i like the old mk2 xr2's so i would say that

apples24

cant see that only thing that would bend it would be collission on the alloys and the wheels looks straight?


as above id take that job on and repair for approx 600 maybe a tad more

Rs Baz

that doesnt look that bad.

your not far from me mate if you want it repaird pm me .

JimmyFlo

the rear wheel is bent as barrymore and the front suspension sturt has twisted. the floor is bowing up and poops down wen u stand on it in the back

shame mate,,,,,,

jayRS

is a shame mate, but could prob be repaired, just the cost

apples24

still repairable

Rs Baz

get some pics up of the floor where its bad,

if you think it's bad how much will you take for it and i may repair it and sell it on

DUDE_SWEET_FRST

gutted mate. what ya bump in2?

JimmyFlo

i dont actually know what i hit tbh. iv decided to keep it now and fix regardless of the cost. my mrs finished with me today too talk about a kick in the balls after all this and a speeding fine

jayRS

sorry to hear that dude
