The wh caprice we stumbled across... What a waste

[HSV5L]

Hi guys. Me and my dad stumbled across This.
Car: Wh caprice.
Intirior: Tan leather. Full optioned.
Wheels: Starcorp shadow chrome 18s good tyres.
Engine and box: V6 auto.
exchaust system. Log books. Has had front end damage and some smashed windows not sure weather to sell parts off it or fix it. Depends on radiator support and how it drive will put battery in it tommorow and take it around the block. Guy paid $10.000 1 month later smashed it. It sat there waiting for us to find it and give it a good home. What a waste on a CAPRICE...

[MikeCuzzy]

My vote is repair it. Interior will be fine, shit load of interior cleaner will fix that up fine. If the windscreen is ok, the other windows will be buckleys to fix. If she drives ok, and the chassis doesn't have the shape of a banana - I reckon bring it back to life.
I think it looks a lot worse than it is, get some armour all multi pupose cleaner, heaps of leather cleaner and a vaccum and see what happens.

What do reckon it'll cost to fix the front end damage?

[HSV5L]

Thanks mate. The windscreen is ok the quater glasses are good and the passangers front. The rest are ######. As for the intirior i think it will come up good we will pull it out. And also girni the carpet. Belive it or not the roof lining is like new.. Just ashame about the rain otherwise i would be working on it... As for the damage we will have a go at fixing it need the bar and bonnet and maybe a gaurd. Cheers.

their so balling , that would be my dream car for a while , i always wanted one ujst couldnt afford it
20's and airbags .

back to yours though , it really dosent look that bad , replace windows give her a clean, new front body kit and she be sweet

[walesy]

wow that is a shame it was treated so badly, +1 to repair, that front end damage doesnt look too bad so rad support may be ok, has all the caprice stuff except for the bonnet, must have been changed before

Cost you buckleys and it will cost much less than $10,000 to fix is my logic - provided the damage is just what it looks like.

[Astranomical]

The poor car. Either way...I vote to fix it...with a bit of work it should come up really nice.

So, wait, how much did you guys pay for it? The way your first post reads it sounds like you and your old man were just cruising in your tow truck and chucked it on the back for keeps.

[HSV5L]

We wish we had a tow truck because that would have been much cheaper..

i have to ask, if it's not a rude question how much did you pick it up for. i'd give it a go to clean it, at the end of the day you might spend 200 bucks on cleaning products and have a fkn nice car, or it might not come up at all, but i'd risk it knowing what it could be if it worked, if that makes sense. I'd completly strip the interior out of the car, and clean it all outside, would be so much easier. But yeh i'd have a go at fixing it. hopefully the damage isnt to bad.

[Troy711]

It's only a car and only a Holden at that. Not as if it's a GTHO or anything.

[Blown V6 Hatch]

^^Agreed, it's only a V6 WH....

[VRCALAISS]

wow what douches. obviously they don't see the potential in it,fix it don't take the pussy way out.

It owes us $500. I gave it a quick clean and put some tape on the glass to stop the leaks. I will pull it all out soon when the ground dry's out. I t will come up great it all comes off so easy. Cheers.

Hmm

[MikeCuzzy]

Told ya it'd come up good

Well done mate, assuming the damage is a reasonable repair, I think you got yourself a great bargain and all it took was a bit of effort!

Hope it continues to go well.

Thanks heaps mate. If you know anyone that can help us with a bonnet and front bar that would be great cheers Travis

It would be a waste to sell it for parts. Obviously the people who don't like the WH will say its not worth it but it's definitely worth it. Fix it and keep it.

And to the people saying "Its only a V6", so what, you would actually be surprised what a WH goes like with a Ecotec V6. Well im not sure about the other ones but my one goes really well. I'd say that the engine was run in good because its definitely not a lazy engine.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone wrecking any WH parts, but I spend a lot of time looking for parts for my VT so if I see anything I'll let you know.
