i work for a wrecking yard and i used to work for a smash repairer....more than likely its a write off....if your motor is NOT damaged your going to need basically the whole front cradle assembly.....and a/c condensor,radiator,a/c fans...all up your better off trying to sell it for parts and buying another car...your looking at a very expensive job there is no cheap way about.....not only will it need a smash repairer it will also have to go to a mechanic....i will give you a rough estimate and that is if your motor is ok......$10,000-$18,000 its mostly the labour involved....hope this helps

that's slammed mate, you need a new car :S

mine was only half that bad and I should've written it off, looks like chassis damage to me

mine cost $4500 to repair + $1200 for the engine, on a car that i only paid $4500 for, so in the end, i paid $10200 for it, not worth it, write it off, sell it for parts and get a new car, did you have insurance?

if you did - claim on it, if you didn't - you live and learn, get it next time

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
