going by the damage on the front of this ute, it dosnt appear to be too severe, like rad support guards etc, but to me it looks the engine isnt sitting straight, like its broken a mount or its pushed back, also is the gear stick in the normal postion, im assuming it would be in neutral as theres no power to drive it,?
im thinking they might have started to fix it but became to expensive, or structural damage, if its a stat write off = Very very cheap, i saw a ba11 xr6T go for $900 the other day

i want to buy a stat write off cause there cheap as chips, but it has to be a front ender and not damaged the driveline, idealy i want to find a later sv6 ute cause the idea of a 190kw+ (with tuning) 6-speed manual wagon is way to tempting,
i want it to be straight though from the doors back cause i wanna cut the body and make the tray into a trailer,

I've been after a ford tub as they are a bit easier to use.
probably not this one, this is a down the track kind of thing, or when my auto self destructs, whichever comes first, im just starting to get ideas on prices,
i watched a my06 vz with light front end bingle with 40,000km repairable write off go for 4,800
but as i said, a statutory write off ba11 xr6t sold for 900, an 05 sv6 that was rolled sold for 2400 (was a sad sight) and quite a few vn's sold for $40-$70 which i had to lol's at.
so ideally if i find a stat write off ute i wanna pay around 2g's, i dont know if im unrealistic yet cause i havnt seen a many get sold yet
just cause i wanna be different, im going to try and use the irs setup without the diff and cv shafts, i dont know yet if it would come under 700kg's though but it has brakes so it wouldnt be hard to add a hydraulic braking hitch

thats what i was thinking cause the radiator has hardly budged, but you wouldnt know if its taken a wack to the under belly aswell, in saying that aswell the damage report only says heavy front, they usually write undercarrige if there is any,
well ive made the decision, once my account gets to X amount of dollars this plan is going ahead, so very possibly this year,
im thinking if i get the 190 in there im going to slap an SV6 badge on the back, cause ive also got a SS front end waiting to get painted atm.

it says heavy panel damage, not heave structural. the car will be fine if you get a decent job done.
hahaha bloody hillarious the damage doesnt look that bad, sum chain around it and use another car to pull it out, slap in a new radiator support and your larfing almost
