another rs bites the dust

Relatively easy repair from what I can see. Gearbox breaks when the rear wheel hits a kerb, car stops and engine keeps going and the inpact transfers into the gearbox bellhousing. This car could easily be repaired back to "as new" condition, the only downside from what I can see would be the cost and availability of the new parts, which is probably why it has been stripped. The bodyshop would have taken it to pieces to start the repair and then found more parts damage which has tipped the repair costs above the typical 60% threshold value for the decision to repair or salvage. I guess that this one lost the battle.

Agreed, Carlton Porsche in Birstall West Yorks have repaired cars that wre much worse than this.
