Bronco Jr Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Bashed Westie spotted, I know nothing of this car just spotted it whilst surfing.... here Merry christmas
westy Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 the speedo still reads 50, if thats the impact speed yikes
samcooke Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Looks like the one built on A racecar in porn born. Proper mangled but plenty of stuff salvageable and it's nearly new. Someone'll get a bit of a deal.
Al Yupright Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Interesting pics. Its certainly not repairable, that chassis has got be majorly bent. But still, easily 500quids worth of parts left on that.
stu999 Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Doesnt necessarily mean it will go for 500 quid. Not so long ago, a Westfield appeared at our local salvage dealer. It was also a 2001 model on a new plate, with a Zetec/throttle bodies. One front wheel was horizontal, the other sat just in front of the cabin area, and the O/S/R wheel was hanging on by a rod end. The shell was mashed. Basically, it was totalled. The asking price? 7000 foldings...... And it sold a few days later.....
windy Posted December 23, 2002 Posted December 23, 2002 Engine, box, prop & diff will be knackered I bet (& its probably only a zetec with MT75). New chassis & most of the body work means it must be past ecenomical repair even for the kit car builder. Bid up to 1K now. Someones got more money than sense!!!! Windy
SteveC Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 I see the bids now up at £1500, not sure its going to be a bargain anymore Just watched Racing Car is Porn and its similar colours, but not the same.
chazpowerslide Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 That looks well and truely mashed, I doubt that you'd get a lot of salvageable bits off that. Certainly not £1550 of ANYBODYS money considering that an SEI kit is only £2600........
SteveD Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 who me ! no i have enough on my plate with two elans ,o and a westfield ,without taking on a job like that oooooooooooooo the thought of more work oooooo no
neo Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 evnin m8, suprised me there thought it was a bit of you that. i stand corrected
SteveD Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 no i buy a lot of salvage ( damage repairables ) and that is not a good buy
JimNoble Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 Is it me, or is the gearstick (and gearbox?) missing? Can't see any evidence of major chassis damage (the photos are conveniently mostly side-on). If it's been through SVA though, it might be useful to someone who could re-chassis it, then put in a more interesting engine, I suspose... Jim
SteveD Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 mr jim ,have you been looking at the right pictures quote ! can't see any evidence of major chassis damage !!!!,its bent like a chuffin bannana !!!! look at the front and the angle of the doors and screen!its f****d ! ,even a blind man on horse back can see that
