That's ok cause driving an Evo wouldn't have saved me. I probably would have been going twice the speed thinking it was an even better "Rally Car" than my OZ-Rally Edition!

 

thats a whole lot of repair for a lancer dude

 

Better for me to spend 7k than 20k considering that when this is done it'll be almost impossible to tell it was ever in an accident. Also considering the money is out of pocket I can afford this but 20k is kinda out of the question, and I'd have to finance something again..

If I were to buy a new car in the same class I don't even know if I'd go with another Lancer. For FWD performance I would look into a 2006 Civic Si, but unfortunately I'm not getting another new car for a couple more years.

 

Here's a question - assuming the repairs are near perfect, how much will this car be worth? (I know it won't be much).

 

Whats it mean when someone says "Bump" randomly as a post?

Like this:



"BUMP"

 

See, and then it goes to the next post...?

Wtf is "Bump", or is it just some bullsh!t to waste space...?

If it is, then I say

Your posts are a waste of space in my car wreck thread! But thanks for the "BUMPS"!! You are keeping me at the top! And therefore more of a noticeable thread, that will hopefully recieve more attention.

 

Awesome, thanx for the answer... Sorry I wasted space on your precious thread, however I guess to make that up Ill post somethng thats "On Topic".

On Topic Post -------> Wow, thats actually the first fuc*ed up Lancer ES Ive seen.
Ive been to several Junkyards and honestly you dont see Lancers that often. Ive seen one, and it wasnt even that bad...
Hmm, well now you have good reason to put aftermarket parts on it right off the bat, and turn it into something substancial.
More Power to Ya

Hey np - I was just kidding, this thread can be used for anything

It's an OZ, but since they took the side skirts off I'm getting to see what a Yellow ES would look like. I can't wait till it's done - I miss my car so badly. I'll have more pictures shortly as soon as and signifigant progress has made.

 

Here's an update - all the framework and underlying details, minus re-bar are now completed and were almost done.

 

Here's more. I think the whole car will have to be painted. I took a close-up of where the cut was made to attach the quarter panel to..

 

You where asking what its worth after it been fixed - Was this car totalled? AKA is it on a Salvage Title? Carfax or reports similar record checks will report such incidents. So that will cut your price way down. So starting at about 9500 cnd for mint used, Id say 6000 cnd. And I though I saw you put in 7 large to get it fixed. If I did that, Id be driving it until the doors fell off.

 

The title is clean (not salvaged) - and I am planning to drive it forever now. Who would buy a car that's crashed anyways? The one who fixed it is the only one who really knows if it was done properly. I know this is better than average job thats taken almost a year to fully complete, as shop time was and is no object we're sparing no expense and fine tuning everything to the last detail, so I won't have any issues with driving it anyways - plus I miss driving it SO bad.

 

Exactly. Thats good they are working on it so completely, but a year, ouch. Good luck though, enjoy the first day back in it, just dont crash

 

Well don't JINX (sp) me and I probably wont If that were to happen I'd just give up and never own another nice car.
