Write - Off VT SS

[guss]

Hey all, after writing off my VN and decided to jump forward and get a VT SS i picked up from the auction at brisbane. it was hit hard in the front pushing the radiator over the block and kinking the k frame, after hours hard work ( i am a panelbeater) i got the car straight again, here are the pics of my new baby.

very nice mate, no-one would be the wiser. how much did you pick it up for if you dont mind me asking? you could probably sell it off and make a fair profit.
good luck with it

At the salvage auctions, the vehicles are placed in one of two catagories. Repairable Write-Off, and Statutory Write-Off. Repairable ones are those that the damage isn't too bad, and can be fixed and then the vehicle can be re-registered. Statutory ones are where the extent of the damage is that bad, under no circumstances can the car be re-registered. No matter how much or well, you repair it. Statutory write offs are only good for parts.

The way they catagorise them is quite interesting. You might see a car with next to no damage, but yet is a statutory write off. It may be that the car has been submerged in water, which puts it in the stat catagory.

nice work what did the repair set you back at?

[Dimsyrak]

good job

as long as ur rails are straitgh , the kink on the k frame can be a bitch sometimes , a friend usally replaces the kframe for 100% job.

i had mine the same way but at the rear end , it was ok to fix but istead desided to get another short rear and it come up really nice.

here in Vic the job have to be 101% as its alot of coverment reculations and have to get a certificate b4 registration.

enjoy ur new ride!!
