At the end of the day its your car, but to modify a vehicle like this made in such low numbers and in amazing condition would be a huge shame. If you really want a VLCT Wagon, you'd be better off buying one already 'molested' or mocking one up from a Berlina Wagon... Then you could sell this 1 to me Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that rb26 is my old engine out of my wagon mate. If that guy has looked after it thatd be a good buy. That cost me around 10k with a vipec computer to make it suit a vl. Lots of hours were spent on that thing. It was sold to him ready to bolt in, dump to cat pipes, ecu, modified sump etc.

What'd you end up doing with the calais wagon mate? I'm looking for a one asap if you'd think about selling it?

As above!But I am not buying. Cheers Marty

The ONLY mod i think you can do to it is white wall on the tyres. Keep everything else stock.

its been Statutory Written Off i get to keep the car aswell as payed out a pissy amount but ppl have a read of this:- http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registrati...ers/index.html (http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/written_off_vehicles/vehicle_owners/index.html) THE END AIN'T YET Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Really gutted for you! Sad news!! Marty

So what now?

most likly start to part her out

According to the RTA site you provided if you sell the shell off to someone else they won't be able to reregister it. That is the way I read it anyway. Is there anyway you could repair it yourself? There might be people on this forum willing to help you out. I certainly would although I am living in Japan at the moment so won't be able to do much. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

man if you were in melb, i could repair it for you for a good price, hate to see another a9y gone, was a very clean wagon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If it's a stat writeoff then it will never be able to be registered again as the damage is too severe or structural and cannot be safely repaired. Better if it was a repairable writeoff.

According to the link the OP attached it can be repaired and reregistered. Maybe it is only allowable in NSW.

"The following steps, detail the process vehicle owners must follow:Check with their insurer if the vehicle has non-repairable damage." I think that this will be the problem. The front chassis and strut tower are very bent.

Tho according to the RTA if u can show it has been repaired propely it may be re regoed....... u must show paperwork for all repairs and proof that they were done by a regested repairer ---------- Post added 26-11-12 at 11:35 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by VL_Nick [View Post] "The following steps, detail the process vehicle owners must follow:Check with their insurer if the vehicle has non-repairable damage."
