Is it worth it?

<< < (5/9) > >>

TAPPY:
For the price he is willing to let it go for I would be all over it as I work in a body shop. From where it has been hit you will want to try the new door and wing on to make sure it all fits pukka before paint as the A pillar might be in a little bit or the door hinges might be bent. Also you might need a new airbag module as it might not code with the new airbags.

Ricky123:
Not worried about airbags or the panel damage. The only thing bothering me is if the pillar needs pulling.

I have enough knowledge to source the parts cheapish and I have vcds for Module coding etc

I'm going for a second look tomorrow. I'll post more pictures.

Ricky123:
Sooo...

Went for a better look today. From what I can see the pillar looks fine. There's no marks or signs that anything has his it. The dents are on parts of the bodywork that aren't that strong to begin with. I'm 90% sure I could bolt a new door and Wing on and it will all line up very well without to much adjustment.

There's also a dent on the off side quarter, sent a pic over to a friend and he's quoted me £400 to do it.

I think I'm gonna get it. I'll no more threw the week. Got to try and sell a mk5 golf 1.6 fsi I have to make up the rest of the money too  :signLOL:

Enjoy, I'm sure you'll turn it around and love the whole challenge.

Did you double check the roof for any creases cause I've know of cases where that's been enough to right off a motor for loss of structural soundness?

Eccie:
You'll be the fifth owner, that's a lot & would put me off buying any car, also the bonnet looks very dull, what's happened to that?
