HOw much do you think it will go for?

Maybe Rims, Engine, box, wing and bars are salvagable.

Yeah, not too sure what happened to it, but as a bonus it looks as though some of the kit and possibly the wheels are salvageable. The engine bay also looks relatively undamaged.

Yeha not sure Dwayne, from what i can see the compliance plate on it is 5/02. That doesnt really narrow it down though.

Not long ago i saw a picture of Geoff Polities T-Series he had. Same colour, I think same wheels. Imagine if this was his old car.

Don't even want to think about it.

Full rebuild job. Just looks like a fire and some damage to the bonnet and front. Maybe no real structural damage. Couldn't it be stripped back and some stuff done to the body to clean it up before the rebuild?

i imagine th sirface of the panels would be scarred, and it's possibly twisted/warped from the heat. but then who knows...there may be hope...

I think more likely someone would strip the engine and put it into another AU.

Hmmm, i might just go see how it'd look in the Fairmont....... considering thats what the TS50 is based on and all. :newangel:

you need to get up to scratch with the law. thats a stat write off.....will never see the road again EVER. rims i wouldnt touch either being alloy and the heat that was above them could have weakened them. probably only the engine and rear bumper are a sure thing from that car. (thats worth something) gearbox would be a 'maybe on inspection'

Stat write offs can be re-registered with a full engineer's inspection I believe?

Is it just me or does there seem to be alot of burnt cars there? With very few of them looking like the fire started in the engine bay?.
Smokers dropping their butt perhaps?

Well there is 18 T3 TS50 left I believe. Before this write off wasn't there an article on a Silver TS50 T3 that rolled into a ditvh and all the occupants walked out uninjured. Then there is this atroscity. So I believe there is only 18 left.

There is no excuse for this type of malicious damage. Especiall to such a rare vechile that was someones pride and joy.

There is no emoticon for what I am feeling right now!!!!
