    Default VP Damage

    Friend of mine ran his VP off the road, it crashed into a kerb and completely pushed the left rim in to the point where he cannot even turn the wheel properly, hence its wrecked just sitting there it also picked up a nice yellow sticker that night.
    Anways he reckons he can fix it and within reason too, the cops who stickerd it reckon hes done thousands of damage and I do too if hes ****ed the chassis or w/e and he cant even turn the wheels.
    So I ask you ppls opinion for an average VP v6 this is a write off id say eh?

    Our imaginations can only give us estimates of the damage. SHOW US SOME PICTURES if you want us to give proper feedback.

    Of course it's a "write off"
    But you can go to the local wrecking yard and sometimes if you are lucky find a mint straight VN or VP that someone just didn't want anymore and swap all the stuff you have that's better onto that , they will sell you a complete VN/P for like 500 bucks or something

    Hard to say with no pictures at a guess a z bar and strut rack maybe bottom arm and k-frame. And a commodore doesent have a chassis and it gives me the poos when people say they have. just my dummy spit 4 the day sorry bout that.

    Cant get pics as the car wont be seen again by me, its ok it aint my car so i dont care but he seems to think it wont cost much to fix it even though under his left arch is just totally ****ed, he actually bent his metal rim inward and now the tyre is scraping on the side of the car and cant be turned properly, i just wanted to know if you guys had known/dealt with this prob to give an estimate
