I bought the car off chris think its gurj\'s old car aswell. Someome reversed out into main road as i was driving down the road not best impressed and unsure what to do. The car has been wrote off as cat d im unsure wether to sell the car for parts or fix the car and sell it as i will be movin to Australia by the end of the year. As the market as it is was thinkin might not get that much for it when repaired what do you guys think appions please will post a few pics up thanks very much gaz..

ahh bad luck mate....tbh it dont look too bad. There was someone here selling the wings in PZ black. some here http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57625

All you need then is the bumper and respray or may even be able to get one already painted.

I would fix it and then sell. It will be shame to break such a nice car.

Forgot to mention the passenger side chassis leg has been bent so will have to go on the jig also.

Not a difficult repair, but the car\'s probably worth more in parts tbh.

Bad luck mate.
If it were me id probably break it as im not sure if youd get a decent price for it as a write off. obviously if you were going to keep it then it would be worth doing.

Sounds like its time for a new bodykit and new suspension parts

gsb876 · May 23, 2009, 06:26:08 PM

NO NO NO !!!!!!

Alot of hard work has gone into that FD really hope it doesn\'t get broken for parts !!!! One of the best engine setups about on that baby, really sad to see that but what can you do

Really sad to see that, had that FD for about 4yrs i think

Sorry mate wasnt my fault nothing i could have done to prevent it either even if i had gone in the other side of the road i would have hit another car straight on. they gave me the car back and a cheque for Â£4500.

Better hitting the other car than a rex!

Thats actually a very good deal, in which case strip it for parts as even repaired you wont get a good deal if you sell it dude :yes

Only kidding tbh, just spent so long getting it right, very very quick RX the Purple One !!!!
