Hey,
Well I almost rolled my vn on a gravel road into the ditch yesterday and at first it was ok... the tyres had only come off their rims and the wheels wernt buckled..
but thats the good part.. the bad and more annoying part is that the k-frame, the left lower control arm, and the left caster rod are bent, and possibly the right shock... and to top it off the front end has shifted to the left as the evidence says on the bonnet... oh the sill just under the left rear door has some damage...
I'm also getting a new engine in very good condition (150) and the radiator needs replacing...
So to top it up how much all up do you reckon its going to cost to get a lower control arm, the k-frame, the caster rod, and get the car re-aligned on the front? and also a price a the radiator (series 1) as the car overheats, and a possible price of how much it would be estimated to repair the sill (note I can add pics of it)
notes:
I can do pretty much all this work myself (apart from realigning the front and fixing the sill down the bottom)
I'm changing the engine anyway as its ****house and needs a reco.
the engine overheats due to the radiator
so my basic summery is: How much am I gonna be up for? is it worth fixing or just wreck the car and get a better commo?
Thanks and also if this should be in a different spot please feel free to move moderator
edit: I can add pics if need be

I'd wreck it and get another car.....getting the car put on the chassis aligner prolly won't be cheap.

That's wat my little bro did when his VH got a regency defect....had a good shell sitting out the back so transferred everything over.....it's prolly worked out cheaper lol.
