mate was in a car crash and just want to know can you repair this? if so howmuch are we talking. in the first pic something has broken off ( i dont know what it call it sorry ) thanks. http://tinypic.com/r/15xqywh/7 http://i52.tinypic.com/30rvf3p.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/521dfb.jpg
Doesn't look like a write off. As long as the chassis rail hasn't shifted, all the damaged parts bolt on anyway. I know someone with a decent set of 17's.
I suspect you should be able to repair it. The broken bit in the first picture could be replaced with another piece. (rather then repaired via welding...etc) I should think the chassis frame should still be pretty straight, however the suspension bits and camber arms and all that will need to be replaced on the passenger side. Cost wise, I don't know but it is unlikely to be cheap. New front bar, 1 headlight, front quarter panel and a whole lot of bits in the wheel well that attaches the wheel to the car. That's not even talking about labor to refit those things as well as a new paint job for that area. After all that one might consider, whether it is worth repairing or just getting a whole other car which may be a cheaper option.
Yes Looks repairable, would have to source all the suspension bits from a zed being wrecked, Smic and piping (if its turbo) would need to be replaced, front guard/fender and front bar arent too hard to source.
it can be repaired but needs to be checked properly. there could be crossmember damage and at the very least it will need alot of dressing up an adjustment to get the panels to fit. not a bolt on repair id say
couldn't this have caused some damage to the chassis :O Thats a fair whump... You'd want to check everything out properly or the next one could be bad. But I think your asking if that particular part can be fixed, and yea, you could. Could be worth looking at your other options but
How is anyone going to quote via 3 photos! Would have to look right over it but just work out what you need to replace and start looking at wrecks. Won't cost too much to do at all. Definitely not more than to buy another Z!!!!!@#$%$#@
seeing as the wheel took most of the impact, i think that if theres going to be "structural damage" id be looking at the suspension tower on that side.......... does the bonnet still close? must have been a good hit
First cars should be limited to 4 cyl cars like Corollas, Sigmas, Lasers and so on. Nothing over $1000.
Hard to judge by the pics, you need to get the chassis checked, it's possible, that the impact has pulled the subframe over and skewed the front of the chassis rails a bit. If chassis needs to be straightened then in my opinion it's a write off.
Tow it to a shop and get a proper quote mate. Not point asking on a forum. you will NEVER know the damage untill EVERYTHING that is in the way there is ripped off to see exactly how far the damage has gone. It does look repairable but again you never know how far damage goes untill all the shit comes off and gets properly inspected. Bent chassis can still be straitened on a bench. personally , i wouldn't drive a Z or any other car that has been hit hard enough to need to be pulled on the bench from the chassis.
definitely fixable . some cars hit like this just sheer the suspension off and some pull the rail down with it. there could be damage to the floor behind the wheel also . It could be as simple as bolt on new parts though . I would say most likely it would be under $3500. even with some rail damage.
