That's what I was saying, If it was someone who could do it all thereself then fine, but as it needs alot of work (Jig etc) it's a total loss!

thought i'd add a link to the skyline video they talked about on the ringwalk, check out his commiment on the way into carousel, clipping the car sideways into a jump! other stand out bits are on the way into adenau bridge and the final part of the lap after the straight, just an awesome bit of driving!

Might keep the engine this eg civic with one fitted seems to dispatch the m3 ok

Yer I think its going to get broken for bits. Although I am waiting to here back from a few salvage companys first to see if they want it as a whole.
BTW Paul what things are there to look out for on vts's and would you touch one with 75k on?
