Zonda_ Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Here are links to pictures, sorry, not sure how to post them! http://www.evoposters.net/carsa/Zonda/Image001 http://www.evoposters.net/carsa/Zonda/Image003 I thnk the front damage looks worse than it is. The bottom arm is bent though. It needs a new tub cos the drivers side rear arch is gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAT1800 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Looks like you might need a new number plate... Mat. How's the chasis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonda_ Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Seriously though, what do you reckon? I can get a complete body/nosecone etc for £350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAT1800 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I've got very limited experience with these....especially ones that have had a crash.... But I'd suggest you need to get the chasis checked, unless you were already planning on this. From what I know...or what I think I know ... If the front is twisted it can be repaired or even replaced, but the the rear is twisted, it's a whole new one. What you paying for it? Mat.

JeffC Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 price up the bits you will need ,I reckon will be false economy buying that. theres plenty of cheaper westys kicking around at the moment without buying a headache.. what price are they asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonda_ Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 It's a 94 car and it's 3k. My mate is getting the chassis checked out but his bodyshop guy has already given it the once over and says it's fine. Like I say, I can get all the body parts for £350. The insurance company paid out £8.5k for it, don't know if this reflects the value of the car or what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SADDLEWORTH Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Whats the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelcoombs Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 It’s a bit difficult saying what it is worth with out knowing what is under the bonnet, what gearbox, or diff for starters... if the chassis is straight and the other bits are good then in my opinion you should go for it.... but do the homework first.

Zonda_ Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Unknown as yet, all the details shoul be arriving from the insurance company today. All I know is the cylinder head is black with Westfield on the top!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffC Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I wouldnt rush in ... there will be some cheap cars coming up over the next few months that wont be a lot more money without any damage, I think there was a westy sold on here for £3k recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SADDLEWORTH Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I would take somebody who knows westfields to have a look at the car or it could cost you more money than a straight car. Which area is the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonda_ Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 There's a problem. The car is in Northern Ireland. There is no problem about getting it brought over and getting it checked out over here though. I'm under no obligation to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SADDLEWORTH Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Don`t you have to go over to ireland to check it out before you buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonda_ Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 No, he lives round the corner from me but his yard is in Ireland. It's complicated but he can just put it on one of his transporters and bring it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
