Waste of time repairing that i am sorry to say...

I would be shocked if that was not a statutory write off.

Best bet is to part it out and buy a new one. Also that is a rear hit so why is the other person not paying etc or was it a single vehicle accident?

Don't repair it it will never sell if your honest when you do and if there is chassis damage then it will crab and look s*#t..

s*** true?

yeah it was single car accident

i think gov was fixing the road.

i didnt c the sign and went too fast on it.

car went in the air when it dropped i lost control.

no insurance coz wasnt sure if i was going some where for while or not.

where is best place to look for shell?

Cut and polish mate, she'll be right.....

Seriously, to repair you'll be looking at least

Rear window

Rear bar

RHR quarter panel

Beaver panel

Boot lid

At least one tail light....I'm guessing

Plus a lot of labour and painting costs.........minimum.

If it's a 34 gtt you'll likely find the best deal will be to buy another car and part that one out, you'll be surprised how much of those parts will sell, and it'll all add up.

I've said before I had a friend in NZ who used to buy cars and part them out, even if they were in perfect registerable condition, cos parts alone fetch a hell of a lot more than the car as a whole.

I really hope you owned that car before you joined this forum.....if you wrote one off in under 11 days I would suggest you stick with the civic....or maybe a Volvo

Check if the roof has any ripples, crumpled etc (roof is structural). Then check and measure the rear cradle mount points to the front mount points on front crossmember.

If the roof is good, and the measurements aren't out by more than a couple of mm ( I doubt it) then it would be repairable.

Also the boot floor would need to be bashed out too.

Even then like the guys said, all the parts, paint and labour will be $$$$.

Looks like it may be worth repairing?

Good luck with your decision.

ofcoz i had itt for while.

what u think? lol

if i crashed in 2weeks, i will be in mental hosp. haha

i was looking for parts and saw this site

so thought i join.

i saw boot lid for 100 and RH rear light for 60.

rear bumper for 150.

so i need RH quarter panel and some metal bit/

im looking for shell ATM as well.

if i can get good shell i might jus buy the shell.

ot buy 2dr r34 GT and swap the parts and sell what i have left.

i think it might be best way

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
