Damn man that was a sick looking vk. How much damage to the vx? Just better hope they pay you what its worth not wat the market value is.

Yeah well I took it to 3 reputable places and all agree the chassis is bent and to repair would need the following.. Boot floor pan Chassis straightened Centre garnish all 3 pieces of the rear bumper rear skirt 2 tailights rear cut of a donor vehicle boot lid Fuel tank

so what are you gona do? reshell?

Mick I know where there is a VK rear cut in Cairns, been in the roof of a warehouse for a few years..... Was in pretty good nik from what I can remember, let me know if your int.

Thanks mate, yeah I may be interested, just going to wait to see what happens on Monday - I get all the quotes back and im going to see the guy responsible and see what happens from there.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats *****ed... ive seen this car in the flesh and it was very nice and well looked after...a mate of mine might still have his vk shell if ur interested...

Sorry to hear man... exact same thing happened to my VLCT, and the guy reckons it wasn't his fault Hope it all works out for you and good luck with everything. Antho... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers Antho.. sik m8 - ill get back to you on that one, just weighing up options at the moment.

yeah it was a clean car 4 a vk

Jig the suckers straight or cut an weld in a good floor/boot an she'll be all good.

That sucks dude, it's a shame to see a good VK go to waste...it was a nice looking car.

5hit!!!! i only saw it on thursday nite at like 9:30! lookin good 2! anywayz hope all go's well Mick.

Cheers mate.. What car were you in?

sorry to hear man, my VL was "tapped" pretty hard from behind and got that fixed.. but ill put my hand up if your gonna have any parts for sale, let me know.. hope you can get it fixed tho, its ****ed seeing your pride and joy like that

Thanks mate,... yeah at this stage I am getting it repaired, I have found a workshop that is willing to do the work for cheap, so it makes it worthwhile rather than re-shelling it. Is going in tomorrow, ill post up some pics once its done.

um...what can I say....tidy car!! Shame to see it like this!!..... re shell it or get a 1/4 chassis in it!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
