so.. who's going to go take more pics of it today (i just rang inspection is from 12-5).. If the pics don't show too much structural damage.. i'm tempted.. but the roof? i dunno, can anyone else see it's kinked? and it's for sale tomorrow.. should be up between 10-11.... Matt (Blink) I heard your taking the morning off.... But seriously.. took me 5 years or so to build that... i am truly shattered... i sent the link to my bro he's worse than me.. and I quote... "…I actually got a twinge in the nuts when I first saw it, cause all that hard work that went into it…and then to see it like that…sad indeed…" Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

spirit77 would live the closest to that place, its miles from most of us It will go for alot tho steve, the wreckers here in adelaide love vlts, i used to go to uni down the road from it and we always went up on fridays, the sh!ttest vlts were going for 4k, let alone ethnic... Think you can watch online? Also it says its 'light structural" which means it can be repaired and registered

I think it was about 12k man? Yeah massive effort to get it back on the road. If I had a car Steve I would go look at it for you, but mines off the road.. for something different

Im sure Steve or Ben would be able to help you out if they see this? They both live pretty close. The rest of us are about an hour away. And for me, thats a lot of hitch hiking lol

hey all, just to clarify a few things, the car is obviously steve's old one. i had a guy pull out infront of me while i was doing 80... had to swerve, lost control and clipped a tree doing about 60 odd. devo. the car is NOT for auction at pickles. there was a **** up with the insurance company. i have bought the wreck. its been structually written off. Steve, im so sorry this happened, i know how much you loved your baby. and yes the roof has buckles in it, and you cant tell from those photos, but the front passenger rim went through the firewall, its been pulled back out. ive got more photos that i can load up here soon.
