    Default My VR is a write off :(

    3 car freaking accident. I ended up hitting some Barina and took all the damage and the car is a write off.

    All the money spent on my baby gone

    Well... I'm looking for another VR of any model really. Hopefully in good condition but with engine damage because I have my new engine still so I can just pop it in another VR.

    So yeah, if you guys have any ideas let me know.
    I'm in Melbourne
    Hopefully looking to spend <2500

    If you still have it, where is the damage and what can you save from the wreck? Also If you like the vr/s shape I suggest going to a VS and getting an Ecotec or just going with either model and get a 5L and save time.

    Well the front of the car is the damage... radiator, struts, let's see...
    My front doors won't even close properly :P

    But the engine is savable *****ing reco I just got*
    Pretty much all of it is useful, but the damage done is just not worth saving it.

    I'll post pics tonight :P

    BTW I'm 20. A 5l is not an option :P
