Project Gallardo ??

[V10 BAT]

Hi guys,saw this might be of interest.
Parts required, cost wise, would run a bit though.
Happy new year

wish i was handy with a spanner! i have no idea on costs of parts but could that turn a profit you think?

[Ben218]

Looking at those pics, you could probably pick an undamaged one up cheaper than trying to repair that. Parts are VERY expensive and that needs a hell of a lot of work. Airbags will probably set you back a few grand on their own!

If its as easy as they make out then great, but that has taken one hell of a whack, good luck if you are thinking about it but be careful!

You could keep the costs down buy ordering the equivalent Audi R8 parts. You will find they are 30%-40% cheaper. The Audi parts have a single digit difference on the parts numbers if I remember correctly and in a lot of cases have both Audi and Lamborghini symbols on them

[V10 BAT]

I reckon it needs to be a bit cheaper,like -10k
A straight car like this would go for 58-61 k.
This would have to cost 15k in parts i would of thought,then theres paint.
So,if you could get it on the road for 50k i think i would prefer to do the extra 10k
and get a straight one.
Would make a great project though,just do a little at a time,scan ebay for bargain parts.
Maybe add it to my watch list
CHEERS GUYS

Not sure it would be that great when it's your own money...

Hassle of receiving all the parts, time, going to cost more than the lowest 2nd hand ones, might still not be straight, some more random headaches

Of course if you had unlimited time and money it might be an interesting 'project', however, if that was the case I wouldn't be fixing a smashed lambo...

[UH-Matt]

... for £25k definitely. But £35k is too rich, you would end up spending almost as much as a perfectly straight one.

[ChrisFitz]

if it's such an easy bolt on repair then why doesn't he do it himself?

[matthewg]

Preicsely, see that all the time

Only cost £200 to fix.... / SHOULD get through MOT no bother

my thoughts: do it then and and it'l be a much smoother easier sale.... chances are exactly that, they are chancers.

[V10 BAT]

Yeah,hence my interest in putting it on my watch list.
Parts car i think,the motor would be great garage art.

Surely even your garage isn't big enough for that as well! lol

[Wayney]

Contact GVN for a quote on fixing it up they deal with a lot of top end super cars and I have seen the work top notch.
