Sorry to hear it, then to see the photo's ... Ouch ...
If it were insured, you can back it in that it was going to be written off... I beg of you not to fix it cheaply and then fob it off to someone else to try and make a proffit or something at a later date...
I have seen people do it in the past and it is just not right... Your best bet probably would be to try and find a shell and put all the parts in it .. I have seen heaps of VR/VS shells hanging around wreckers ...

Yeah man, sorry for your loss. Somthing similar hapened to me not long ago but not as bad as yours. I would say your car is dead. Looks like you'll just have to get another vr and transplant parts, or just wreck that one and sell it off peice by peice and buy a new one.

ouch mate... I would go into the corner and cry if that happened to my car. I'd say it would definitely be more financially viable to part it out and buy another one.
Consider it a blessing in disguise... if you have to buy another car at least you can upgrade

That above post should have been VR/VS ...
But found the link

It states it was a "STATUTORY WRITE OFF AND CAN NEVER BE RE REGISTERED". So I am not too sure if you can use just the chassis and stuff or not... But may be a question for the RTA...

Yeah, well, after talking with my parents we have come up with this. They will loan me $3000, and I can sell my car as it is now. I dont know what its worth at all, but at least with the money I can buy a new car. I wanna stick with another commodore. How much do you think I could sell the car for as it is now? Its a berlina so its got those extras that people might wanna grab, plus the motor is in good condition, reco transmission less than 6 months ago.
So basically, budget for a new car is $3000 + whatever I can get for my car.
Also, can I just transfer the registration and insurance to the new car that I get?
My mates are trying to convince me to get something turbo and fast lol, but I like commodores Plus I doubt I'd get a very good turbo car or whatever for this amount of money.
