Now there's a bunch of blokes that know how to properly crash a car, at least you know it wasnt done half arsed!
Its probably only done 100kms, would be great for parts.

This was posted by davway a couple of days ago.

Knowing how some bidders are at Pickles, it could be a cheapie to something that's almost the price of a normal one.

Considering the airbags would have gone off i think it will be quite a bit more than that.

Edit: Looking at the pics doesn't look like any airbags went off.

Did the dummy panic and wrench the handbrake or does the handbrake boot commonly look like that on an FG?
