The sad end to my VK.

[Spike79]

Its only insured for 3rd party/fire & theft, so total loss. I only have comprehensive insurance on the VP. Bugger!

As for whats salvageable. the Body back from the firewall is in good nic. LSD, Gearbox, Lpg System and Motor should still be ok. The interior is perfect.

I'll let you be the judge. First pic.

Ouch... what is the quotes for the other cars that got bent..?

Just curious did your VK have a Holley or some other aftermarket carbie ?

 

[VRFURY]

dam dude that really sucks.

 

[Spike79]

No idea on the quotes, i'll let the insurance company worry about that.

As for the carby, it was all stock.

probably the throttle cable sticking, used to happen in my corolla all the time. its a manual so i'd just put in the clutch but you definitly don't expect it to happen, so it was a shock for sure! one day the cable decided it didn't want to stick anymore so its all good now.
