To 99% of the population they look at a modded RST and they think boyracer chav with no money, even when they not.

Thats true, but that car is closer to most RS's with regards to motorsport.
The brakes, the looks, the transmission, the 450bhp FFS.

I think it looks fookin awesome personally (just dont like the rear view really, and at its lowest it looks a bit wrong)

Astra DTM car anyone?

My point is its far closer to the DTM car than most RS's are to a GrpA race car...

If any "race" style parts (ie the looks, brakes, engine, transmission) arnt classed as maxed up, the only bits that are is it has a flashy leather interior (like most cars), a big stereo system (like many cars), and hydraulics (which do nowt for the handling, but its a road/show car so big deal).

One things for sure, to your average person (ie non car fanatics) its a lot less boyracer than a modded RST...

I dont see why everyones having such a huffy slagging off fit about it

No blinkers at all

There a few cossies,rsts,skylines etc that I not like

Yeah okay some of the parts maybe worth 7.5k if you add em up but would anyone buy em,or would you feel sfae using them knowing they had come off a fire damaged car ???????????

Depends what bits and what price Less.

I mean somthing that was seriously fire damaged I wouldnt use (like the interior ), but dont seem that bad, youd obviously give it a good inspection before buying wouldnt you.

When it comes down to it its like melv said- depends what it flogs for, 7.5k is a good deal, but depends HOW far above that the reserve is.

7.5k any idiot could break it for spares and make a profit.

A bit more than that and its still a bargain for a Vauxhall fan.

Dont belive it cost 200k, but seriously do NOT underestimate what that would have cost to build, a SERIOUS amount of cash, if he said over 100k I wouldnt be remotley shocked.
Ive seen top show cars mods cost 50k when all of the main work was already done...

True Steve but it been left to the elements so more damaged and yes any idiot could barake,but some of the parts are unquiqge to that veihicle.

How many of yer standard Vauxhall modders could fit 22inch wheels to theirs.

You think with his all his contacts etc he would have broke and got the money back,

Dont get me wrong was and amazing car but everyone that would be intretsed would know its history.P
Bascially you would have to start again from scratch so it it usless as the bits are worth the money the engine box wheels etc you would not be able to seel (imo)

Is there anything thats salvageable from that? Once The fire gets hold like it has the heat would be emense and i would guess anything with rubber seals etc in it would melt/warp and be fucked i.e engine, brakes, suspension etc.

steve im sorry but that looks sooooo much more boy racer than my cossie does or a erst does, a erst still looks like a shitty mk4 escort, a saph will always be a saph as it looks the same to the untrained eye as a azure

that looks like a boyracers car on hummer wheels

dtm style or not, same as a scooby looks like a boyracered up car

oh and 400bhp with hydrolics and 5ton of ice,,,,,,,, i really see the point there

shopuld have saved the cash and slapped a diesel engine in it, its a show car after all and with all that spec i recon its a dream to drive after 100mph on the road ( no im not gonna talking about track use ect )

steve i think ya been looking at car mags too long , you 3 door was a stripped out racer look with a few personal touches, notice the car never had more speakers than fabrics on new year eve

There prolly is £200k's worth of workmanship but its obviously not what was paid when it was built.

400bhp is good but the car hardly ever moved under its own steam.

You gotta appreciate the sheer workmanship in the shell alone... hours and hours IMO ...

I QUITE like the car... though would be better without all the stickers and the stupid lights...

Either way itsa shame to see it in the state it is...

If it would cost £20K to £30K to get it back to the way it was and the car has been valued at over £200K why aren't they doing it themselves?

Why sell it as a burnt out shell?

I wonder if the insurance company have already paid out and they just bought the wreckage back off them!

love the link now she used to have her own site where she was openly talking about dogs and sick shit.... and in the corner there was a Redline logo That site seems to have been taken over by the similarly named American porn star. She was also available for private sessions with 'amateur photographers ' but think she scrapped the site since she has gone into legit modelling... she is one fuked up girly!
