GT3 RS - "Just needs a new front bumper mate"

[drpep]

Next time you're considering that Cat D, lovely, repaired slice of Pork just consider...

"Yeah mate, it just needs a new bumper - be sorted then"

Check out this lovely, but royally RS...

I must admit, I would consider a Cat D vehicle if it was supplied with the accident damage shots, police report, and insurers report. Bet you can't find many offering those levels of honesty.

ETA

swear filter evasion.

That was the one that crashed into the petrol station about a year ago, was a thread on here and 911uk.com. Suprised its taken so long to resurface!

Edited for spelling!

Would be ok if reshelled obviously, but I wouldn't fancy just repairing....

[RatBoy M3CSL]

..Did you notice the PAX door shut line has opened up..? indicating much more serious chassis rejig / straightening or most likely complete reshell...

[turbo-ww]

Love the way he includes some parts as well.

(I bought the wreck hoping to make a bob, bought some parts then looked a bit closer. It's more fked than I thought)

((I know, let's sell to a mug on PH. 'Bargain' at nearly £60k ))

[Steviebeee]

Surely by the time that sorry heaps repaired it will be standing the new owner around 85k? Whats the point in that?

What a chancer!

[Andyuk911]

It would be interesting to know what he paid the insurance company ...

If he can't sell it, he may have to bail out at a loss ..

Who in their right mind would buy that!!

There would always be that image of it smashed up in your head.

[mollytherocker]

Must be a reshell that? With the amount of parts required cant see that being worth over 30k?

MTR

[OlberJ]

Wonder how much he's after for the engine and gearbox etc

you want to take up racing, thats light damage by the looks of it
all joking aside, ive regularly seen cars hauled away from racing much worse than that and put back together in a couple of weeks better than new. only only problem will be if the main tub is bent, which is doesnt look to be from the photos.

the problem with all of this IMHO comes when you have people doing it who dont know what they are doing properly or who do it on the cheap. from a purely mechanical side though it doesnt look bad at all.

obviously all the above ignores everything to do with value and whether its worth doing for a road car where an incident like this seriously hurts future value, where there will always be other options available that havent been damaged and where perception of repaired cars is greatly different.

a cheap car to fix up and run for many years then i suspect it could be good value, only want it for a couple and then try to sell it on to get something else.... nope!!!!

It aquaplaned off the dual carriageway straight into the filling station. No joke!

[marky911]

Is it really worth 60k in that state, considering its future (repaired) value?
