Yep it is a jig job but apparently jigging it cost a ton of money so thats out of the question. I'm taking everything off (engine in honesty is fine getting a bloke I know to remove it and selling it off) alot of hassle which shall *hopefully* be worth it.

cheers mate :)

I honestly didnt think it looked too bad, but a little damage cost a ton... remember the car went up then landed down onto the barrier (horrible experience) airbag apparently would cost the most :( stupidthing that saved my life! lol

just found a car a year younger than mine done less miles cheaper than i bought her. Same colour, same engine, still SX and still 1.1i :D If alls well i may purchase. :y:

Ignore that... now with my 1.1i X red 98 reg saxo, loving her.. but dont have the same feeling for the old one.. strange :panic: I suppose got the feeling that its just a car now. But still looking after the car and cleaning her way too much, had it for a week now everything going fine :D and an exhaust which has done about 500 miles... horrible tinny bedding in noise again!

But most of all NO MORE WHIPLASH :y:

glad is all now ok mate

i'll take the engine off you. how much? and how man miles has it got on?

Blimey mate thats pretty bad too!
Definately a write off though, 65% of the cars value would be a Cat D for uneconomical repair anyway!
Atleast you're ok mateyyy...
Most places don't replace airbags now, as its so expensive - Would be cheaper to put an aftermarket wheel on if you repaired yourself, just means you'd have no airbag!

whats the catagorys for write offs?

leats ur ok m8 :)

Cat D is uneconomical Repair I think.
Cat A and B are Totally beyond safe repair, and unsure of what Cat C is.

i say cut your losses and buy a new car, saxos r cheap

Fast Forward 7 months to present day and thats what he did, you can see a nice red saxo in his sig.

Thanks for your input though :y:

Stay in school kids.

lol i wondered when i first opened this why some1 brought up such an old thread lol

thanks for making me laugh in a lecture mystic :p

Looking at furios and westcoasts at the minute for septemeber, 3rd saxo? :fcuk:

The white sax is still on my drive, gotta get rid by summer, my grass needs to be cut!

best thing to do is take it to a few garages mate.. if they can give u a quote for repairs which suits you, then get it back on the road.. if not then you could take everything apart and sell each item

oh and i think cat D is write off.. not 100% tho.. but i went to look at a car last year. i found out it had cat C damage. they said id have to inform the police before its back on the road. if it was cat d it would have been unsafe to drive..

cant quote me tho as i say not 100%

google it

Where did yuo get that grill for your red mk1?

I love thread bumpage :p

My old 1.1 matey, sprayed it up and fitted it to my new sax take a look through my progress thread you'll see it there :y:
