The first one is a recker so enough said but the classic is an easy repair,just needs a wing/door/headlights and grill job done DAD

I'd say you could get that repaird for around 500-600

just the headlights for the hawkeye are about £400 let alone the rest of the parts

That Hawkeye is not in a good state to repair, its a breaker for sure. The transmission, engine, brakes, interior, wheels and turbo should pull back around £5.5k on a bad day and around £7k on a good day.

As "your son" said the classic looks simple, and thats from a non bodyshop point of view.

edit
i think that hawkeye is closer to a cat B than a D.... if it sees the road id be surpised.

And the rest!

The classic was a local car, not sure if I know the now former owner though.

Out of curiosity, what would you pay for the classic in terms of costs and additional fees? I mean assume you bid and win it for £500, the you would need to pay £100 fee plus vat and there charges plus vat, and extra monies for not collecting the car before 4pm the next day? It all sounds suspicious to me.

I personally dont see the point of fixing that classic. Mileage is 138k, so pre accident was maybe worth £1400 on a good day.

Would be beter avoiding a whole heap of aggro and just buying a £1400 car!

Drivers side rear arch has been knocked aswell.

the hawks a perfect breaker,

easily 6k+ on parts and thats not that bad on damage, one of the lads just wrote his off and was much worse than that one,and its only a cat c.

insurance paid out 9.5k.

Have a word with sticky.

One thing to be careful on salvage is that although it looks like cosmetic damage how do you know it hasn't whacked a curb and bent a lower arm or fubared a wheel bearing?

I did less damage on my scoob (purely bodywork; bonnet, light, fog, indicator, grille, N/S wing, bumper and inner bumper plus paint ) and the overall bill was over £2K with labour done at TRADE rates plus VAT. Parts were all new and genuine Subaru though which a was a big cost, but the prep and paint accounted for a fair chunk too. Sure you probably could get it done cheaper with a bloke in a damp shed with a oily piston compressor and some celly paint


Hawk's got a bent N/S chassis leg...which IS fixable on a jig, but the cost is silly. And it will have definetely have f**ked the n/s cams and head! Its a cat C as it has obvious chassis damage but is still repairable. But the market is flooded with hawks so you won't get a return on it unless you have your own bodyshop and jig. Or a good rolling shell and engine.
