Ok guys, have came across this issue , as some of you know some woman bumped into the back of my car and since then the whole thing has been draging, as she drove a courtesy car already lawers are involved now. The car obviously has been written off as its value is less than the repair cost.
I've got my car back now, but haven't recieved any damage conpensation yet. Now i'm in 2 minds Shall i keep it or strip it. It's a V3 STI and as much as i love it , 3.5 years, i just can't see myself chucking even more money into it, even i would get it repaired fairly cheap. The car was realy nice and went well before the accident. Some pics beore and after the damage ...











Rear panel needs changing, spraying etc., What do you think guys is she still worth it???

Better the devil you know, she was a goodun and as long as it's a proper repair then you'll be happy. If there had been more substantial chassis damage I can guarantee it would play on your mind whether it was ever as good as before but this should be fairly straight-forward to repair - speak to Maggs as he a has a couple of bootlids iirc

Depends how much it'd cost to get it running like you want it mate. Best of luck though, sorry I couldn't stick around and help on Saturday.

I've got a nice wagon you could have if you want though!

Sorry to hear that Mantaz never nice to see another nice classic bite the dust.

Depends on your thoughts are you fed up of it and have the funds/desire for something else. You could do well out of breaking it. If you want more of the same it will be hard to find another example like the one you have.
????????? Lots of questions you need ask yourself.
