So sorry to see that Max Was such a mint car i really like it

[purple_fiesta]

imo I wouldnt get it fixed, unless you know someone who could do it cheap for you, your going to be spending alot of money on a worthless car at this time If I was you id spend the money your thinking of spending on this on insurance for a xr/rs fiesta

[LCJ]

aint it already a xr2i/rst??? or has he just got the body kit on?
sorry i dont know your engine size Max
i know your damage is more than what mine had but if u can get it done for say round a bout £500 then yeah i'd go for it.
but from what theses guys have been saying that its alot to repair and could cost loads then i wouldnt bother. but if u can get its done cheap prove us wrong. would be a shame to see another fiesta in the scrappy.
good luck to u though and i hope thats things will work out for you

Something is up with the wheel as you can see in the post.

Ill probably get the wheel off tomorrow after work.

the wheel would have taken a battering aswell, so as i said, you might be lucky and have just lower arm damage, but i suspect the hub might be fooked too

[fiestasiphil]

sori too hear that mate i crashed my fiesta a year and a half ago and was jigged and look at it now another fiesta saved!

cost a fortune but was well worth it![/url]

Jacked it up earlier, put my spare on the back cos of the rear tyre.

Removed front wheel, ripped arch off and took liner out.

Drivers door shuts really bad when its jacked up, used to be a bit diff when it was jacked but not like this!

Track rod thing is very bent, wheels made a dent in strut!!

Pics tomorrow.

[xrtiAdam]

As i said on msm (if you got it) Its not a bad one to repair will need new strut, hub, steering rack, scuttle panel, wing, bumper, bonnet and it will need a light pull on the strut top to pull it back in to alinement,

I am guessing when the drivers door is shut it sticks out slightly at the bottom back corner?, that and the pass one sticking out will be fixed by pulling the strut top/ inner wing back across with a doser Whats the bonnet gap like on the pass side wing?

Lucky realy as if you had got it on the front corner that impact would have pused the whole front end across about 6"

Should be Do-able for between £550 - £1000 depending on how good job you want, ill sort ya out with some one to do it if you like

And if you stick a strut hub and rack on it yourself it will save some money!

[xrtiAdam]

And the main thing is the roof is still in the correct place!

How do you know that though?

Going from what the drivers door was like yesterday i think its bad.

The drivers door goes in at the top, passenger out.

From the pics mate! the doors are miss aligned due to the scuttle pusing across and moving the a-posts would have thought the drivers door would be sticking out at the bottom back to but maybe its not that bad!

There should also be a gap around the windscreen on the pass side bottom corner to or atleast the rubber moved

If you are going to repair it Max, I have one rack left here if you need it

[purple_fiesta]

yeh same here max you can have anything of my fiesta you want for free

[Max M4X WW]

You still got it

[mike_wall15]

You'd be well annoyed if you fixed everything you could see and it didn't drive right when it came round to trying it out

When's your birthday Max? If it's next year, then get something crap to drive until then, then see what insurance is like on an Si? It would then be 2.0L ready for a year or two after.

Or search around for another mint shell.

There's no way I'd mend yours, maybe if you could do it for one/two hundred, but it'd be cheaper to find something else.

[Max M4X WW]

I dont think i want to kit my next one, Could remove it from an si but the front arches would be a problem.

Need to find another HCS i think.

Looking at 306's now but most seem to be just more than what i want to pay.

[purple_fiesta]

Yep ive still got it

[XRMike]

Buy a crappy 1.1, and drop your hcs out of yours, get it jigged, repaired,and rust sorted while they are at it,drop an rs1800 lump in, sell the crappy 1.1 Dont be put off by having your car repaired, i can gaurantee you that there is at least 1 person on this site who has a damaged repaired car and dosnt even know .Ive seen worse repaired, providing you get it done by a reputable bodyshop, it'll be fine.

[Jay]

fix this one..
If its badly bent then they WILL be ripples in the roof.

If you repair it and need anything then you can also have it for free if i've got it dude.

[XRMike]

ive got a front bumper here you can have cheaply if you need it

[Smo]

Fix fix fix fix!



I guess I'm a bit biased because when I crashed mine in 2004, I was at a point where I felt a bit attached to it, and was determined not to let it go. And that's why I've still got it now and why it's got a bigger engine in it

Ok, it wasn't damaged as badly as yours, and I've still not sorted it properly not ( ), but if I had to, I would have bought something else as a run around, and got mine back to how it was when I got the chance.

If you don't feel like that about yours though (it's very possible that I'm just sad ...), then 1.1s and 1.3s are about the most popular MK3/.5 Fiesta out there, so solid rust-free ones will still be about, with silly low miles on them

[ianFRST]

my mates repaired a rolled car had a whole new roof and pillars

so in comparison, thats nothing. as said, take that s**t hcs engine out, ring a nice 2L drop it it, fix it, if you still dont like it, as long as you have recipets for the repair work, sell the thing on

[jdfiesta]

OMG!
bought performance ford this month and saw your car in there looking minty fresh as usual, thought this thread was a wind up at first.


that is quite a bit of damage though. but a competent panel beater should be able to sort

sorry to hear it though dude

[jayrs]

mate tbh i would cut ya losses on that, not saying it cant be saved but whats the cost gunna be to jig it and fix it, and is it ever gunna be right...

shame mate i liked you motor

[Max M4X WW]

Thats exactly the way i see it jay, i dont have the money to do it now either.

It will be hard in finding another shell as good, but its gonna have to be a risk im going to take.

[Sphinx]

I'm sure you know already and I'm sure you have an eye for detail to weed out the snotters out there but I'd be VERY carefull if you decide to look at the 'sportier' mk3.5's like the Si's and RS1800's. They can hide a lot of things behind the kits

[Max M4X WW]

Would rather get a 1.1/1.3 again i think.

How hard is it to fit PAS when the engine is out?

Dont think i will bother with the kit this time.

[doggpk]

gutted for yer man..cleanest fezz IMO.

[Sphinx]

With the engine out I'd say fairly easy tbh

[Max M4X WW]

Right, Took the wheel off on friday, then ripped the arch off.

Quite impressed, it doesnt seem to have made it rusty at all. Just dirty..





Slightly bent..


Wheel bent shock..


Buggered wheel..


Low..


+wide


How it stands..

[Dave_B]

done some damage to it then didnt you max!

glad to see your not too hurt about it, shame though nevertheless.

good to chat to you last week and long live the plate

[Max M4X WW]

Yea, Toying with the idea of finding a good shell and getting my mate to paint it then ill put it back together when i have the money

[Ollybee]

Doesn't look three bad under there.

[joe boy]

never though id see it like that mate

gutted for you mate

[jayrs]

i reckon at a guess that rack might need some attention
