Hey guys... had a bit of a mishap with my 9 earlier this year when someone decided to pull out on me down a country lane at night with no lights on. I opted for the ditch rather than a full on rear end shunt with said car. As you can see above it took a bit of knock to the offside rear quarter and drivers door. All the damage is superficial in the sense that the chassis is still straight and its only really the tin work thats bent, all glass still in tact, door still closes flush etc.
I've now re-shelled my running gear and interior into a new facelift shell as a good one came up the week after it happened and it seemed the best option in terms of time spent to get a car back on the road again.
As it stands the damaged shell still has:
- Front subframe inc. full rack w. PS pump (also have the full steering column from rack to wheel as well).
- All glass (front window has a large crack a across the bottom from prior to the incident)
- Bootlid with plate recess (minus spoiler + base)
- Electric window motors
- Full interior wiring loom
- Handbrake + rear cables
- Front and rear brake lines + abs pump.
I had initially intended on breaking fully and scrapping the shell but had second thoughts after reading a few other stories of folk bringing much worse cases back from the beyond!
Alongside the above that is still on the car I've also got:
- Full facelift front end...bonnet, wings, grille, bumper, lip and lights all in VGC (ideal for a conversion/repair)
- Full EK9 5x114 hub and brake swap (262 rears and 282 fronts) stop tech discs and pads on the front with OEM rear discs and brembo pads.
- Left + right side skirts
- Rear bumper and lip
If the money is right and someone wants the lot then that would be my preference. That being said I will be happy to put names down for individual parts or bundles i.e hub / brake swap or the full front end swap but please dont message me asking for a offside headlight or a single brake caliper!
The shell itself will also come with a clean log book...not recorded as written off, HPI clear etc.
Any questions just drop me a PM and i'll try to get back to you ASAP.
I've also got various other parts to go up in a separate thread when I get time to take pics inc. a pair of red Recaros, Fujitsubo b pipe, standard EK9 suspension, water hoses and a couple of other small bits but again happy to work a few deals with people who want multiple parts.
Cheers for looking
