Definitely. What's the average price a BF reaches there though? That'd give you a rough idea on what you'd get this for, presuming half of Vic doesn't know about it already. If the chassis's irrreparable, I'd like to see someone kit out their E-Series in all the shiznit.

Doesn't look like its in write off condition? For a person who can afford to buy one of these should have hte money to repair? ehhh..i dunno
would look mad if an e-series was decked out with Fg parts

Looks like its copped a hard hit in the tow bar causing the whole rear of the car to buckle at the rear wheel arch's

This would go for like 10k-plus yeah?
It really doesn't look that bad from the photos. I thought the same as t1mmy originally, although the crease just below the windows looks straight, and both rear doors seem to close properly. Both C pillars and the roof look straight too.
That being said, it must have been written off for a reason. I wonder if the new metals Ford/Holden are using can't be heated and knocked back into position like earlier models.

It doesnt look bad, wouldnt take much to fix it up but i cant say that until you have a close look at it.

would require chassis straighting and viv. it would go for about 20-25k if it wasnt that badly damaged.
It also needs to be repaired by a proffesinoal who will sign off on it none of this backyard bullshit.

This car has been done hard over at AFF. It's a pre-release press spec car or something.
I'm guessing it hasn't been sold because no **** knows how to fix one yet or how much it will cost, and it's not going to go for a price that will make it a car viable to part out.

They require a different type of weld to be done on them these days dont they? Not just your standard mig weld.
The need a few more so you can get rear 1/4panels etc
Pickles wont sell it too cheaply thou.

Theres no way that car would sell for anything less than 25K. Like sundeep said, becasue they are so new, no1 probably wants to touch it due to 1 never being fixed b4. Saying that, someone is going to pick up a bargain.
