Hi FitFreakers Comunnity, I´m Posting From Panamá (the country) just arrive in and hope to learn a lot from the forum.
The thing is that i have a GD3 and i love the fit so much that i want to make a racing project from him but then i will need another fit to use, the problem is the money (not enough to get a new one) (fit´s are expensive here).
I was looking for a auction car and i fall inlove with OR. but just found this one and i donnt know if is repairable. PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICES


thanks from now.
Bst Regards

 

Claybar and a little Zaino and it'll be good as new

 

looks like there is gonna be a lot of motor damage, but i could be wrong. If money is a problem, looks like its gonna be pretty expensive to fix that one.

 

i was thiking the same, but also i see that the engine on the GE8 is a lot far way from the front end than in the GD3.

if im wrong please show me the light jajaja

 

that pic its hard to tell. Looks like there could be some frame damage.

 

There´s no frame damage (i already check) i think Bcause the driver kind of crash straight to a pole right in the middle of the car. in that case dont you think i will be repairable?

thanks for the comments

 

The only true way to know if there is frame damage is to throw it up on a frame machine and have it measured, you can't eyeball that based on the body damage. That car is not going to be cheap to fix.

 

Oh your right , i am calculating at least 1,000 bucks in parts.

 

I handled automobile insurance claims for 25 years. One thing to keep in mind is that anything is repairable. It's just a question of cost. Is it cheaper to repair or replace? That is the question. There's no way you won't have front cross member damage from a hit like that. The strong hit in the center of the front end would pull in both the right and left front cross members towards the middle. Perhaps not much but enough to require straightening. With the thought of rebuilding I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

 

thats right Anything is Repairable, thanks for your comment.

so now the question is how much it will be a good price for that car (remember i am in other country so i dont handle to much the prices) im asking just and estimate.

regards

 

The question is why is that one for sale. It looks rather like a case of an insurance company totaling the car. Given the car, that means the insurance company estimated that the repairs would be at least half the value of the car, so probably 10,000 USD to repair. Even then, there's probably frame damage. The value of that car would be the part out value basically.

 

I failed to mention: yes, the car is an obvious total loss. No insurance company would want to repair that car. Aside from the obvious there's potentially an incredible amount of hidden, internal damages.

 

Well thanks....i guess i will wait for another ORANGE REVOLUTION (wrecked).

thanks everyone for such a fast reply´s these is a great comunnity.

pd:if someone know about one, please let me know

 

It depends on how much money you wanted to put into the racing project. If you were planing on a new motor anyways, this might not be a bad way to start, but I agree with getting it checked for frame damage first

 

No, the racing project is with the GD3, i want the GE8 to DD.

yeah i dont think im going to buy that car anymore, i will wait for another ORANGE REVOLUTION in salvage condition.
