someone should buy it

[Bipolar]

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.

[Hybrid34]

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

[t1MMy]

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

[Kaddis]

I wouldn't go near it "Missing Service History" gee who knows what the hell its done in 3 months!

[AaronEF8]

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.

a lot of policies just replace the car if it's just about new though....the old car has to go somewhere

[EB_GLI92]

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

[CaRtZ]

one of our cutomers had thier FG G6E (non turbs) 1 day, 1 hr and hit a roo... $10k thankyou

[Frost]

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.

[Sunboost]

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.

[Frost]

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.

[t1MMy]

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.
