Waste of time repairing that i am sorry to say...

I would be shocked if that was not a statutory write off.

Best bet is to part it out and buy a new one. Also that is a rear hit so why is the other person not paying etc or was it a single vehicle accident?

Don't repair it it will never sell if your honest when you do and if there is chassis damage then it will crab and look s*#t..

s*** true?

yeah it was single car accident

i think gov was fixing the road.

i didnt c the sign and went too fast on it.

car went in the air when it dropped i lost control.

no insurance coz wasnt sure if i was going some where for while or not.

where is best place to look for shell?

Cut and polish mate, she'll be right.....

Seriously, to repair you'll be looking at least

Rear window

Rear bar

RHR quarter panel

Beaver panel

Boot lid

At least one tail light....I'm guessing

Plus a lot of labour and painting costs.........minimum.

If it's a 34 gtt you'll likely find the best deal will be to buy another car and part that one out, you'll be surprised how much of those parts will sell, and it'll all add up.

I've said before I had a friend in NZ who used to buy cars and part them out, even if they were in perfect registerable condition, cos parts alone fetch a hell of a lot more than the car as a whole.

I really hope you owned that car before you joined this forum.....if you wrote one off in under 11 days I would suggest you stick with the civic....or maybe a Volvo

Check if the roof has any ripples, crumpled etc (roof is structural). Then check and measure the rear cradle mount points to the front mount points on front crossmember.

If the roof is good, and the measurements aren't out by more than a couple of mm ( I doubt it) then it would be repairable.

Also the boot floor would need to be bashed out too.

Even then like the guys said, all the parts, paint and labour will be $$$$.

Looks like it may be worth repairing?

Good luck with your decision.

ofcoz i had itt for while.

what u think? lol

if i crashed in 2weeks, i will be in mental hosp. haha

i was looking for parts and saw this site

so thought i join.

i saw boot lid for 100 and RH rear light for 60.

rear bumper for 150.

so i need RH quarter panel and some metal bit/

im looking for shell ATM as well.

if i can get good shell i might jus buy the shell.

ot buy 2dr r34 GT and swap the parts and sell what i have left.

i think it might be best way

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
