Worth Fixing This R34?

[perzn_34]

hey guys just wondering is it worth fixing this r34 gtt?

its just had the front damage (to me it just seems to be panels)

airbags also deployed(regarding changing the airbags is it just swaping the airbag in the cabin or u have to change the whole srs system with sensors?)

i know panel beaters that are cheap or i should say cheaper, but u wont get a fantastic result.

also how much is it worth to buy? and if anyone has a r34 that's wrecking please step forward.

pics are attached

any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you are insured and they have made it a right off, get a new one! but take all the parts off it that you want to keep even sell off some, if not find out how much it would cost to get back on the road the make your own call

I'd be skeptical of it just being 'panel' damage.

I've seen first hand hits with less damage that have done some major bending of rails and all sorts once you get it apart and have a good look/decent fix. I mean anything can be fixed 'on the cheap', but you'll have to compromise somewhere.

Also as the airbags went off i believe there might be more involved?

Troy or someone else will know more on the topic.

What are the A, and B pillars like? Also the roof.

Any kinks = no deal.

Guards

Bonnet

Entire Rad and Light support (this is spot welded in)

Head Lights (?)

Front bar

Intercooler

Radiator

Airbag sensors

Entire Dash (i think this is the only way to replace the bag on the passenger side?)

Radiator fan (?)

That is what you can see.

You will want to check out the front sub frame to make sure it hasnt moved / engine mounts are still in one piece.

If the panels further back are ok and the engine mounts and subframe is ok, $5k???

What year is the car? Is it a repairable write off? Or just accident damaged? Might even require a VIV which might make it a major pain in the butt!

[perzn_34]

It's a 1998 and requires ViV.

it's for sale thinking of buying it and slowly fixing it my self, from my understanding aribags won't cost me more than 300-400 replace second hand and then it's mainly panel damage. I haven't looked at the car yet.

I'm not going to touch it if it has any rail roof or pillar damage.

Should I avoid this u guys think? Toomuch stuffing around?

Why bother? Looks fair fkd to me

[SKYL1N]

requires ViV check..... id take a pass... way to many headaces

[Paradizzle]

I wouldn't bother if it's listed on WOVR. You'll have a tough time selling it if someone checks the rego on the Vic Roads site.

May be speaking out of experience, might not be- but no, it's really not. Unless R34 spare part prices have plummeted since I may or may not have had to fix mine, it really is NOT worth it.

[htial]

Do it only if you want to use it as a track car... ...Don't think you'll ever get on the road again... ...Too many headaches...

[femno]

Haha for a viv you need receipts of all the parts used to repair the vehicle, airbag system reset by the manufacturer along with costly inspections to make sure none of the structural parts have been stressed or welded.

I Pranged my 34 was a lot less damage than this airbags didn't go off is 11k in repairs.

I wouldn't bother with this one mate the amount of work you'd have to put into it wouldn't be worth it. The whole front is caved airbags will cost 2k atleast.

Sell what you can and scrap the rest cars done.
