Doesnt look like it will pull through mate, looks a lot of damage but hope your ok, as said, its only metal and can be replaced. Just a shame if it was something to go wrong as you will never really know.
Looks nice although i think a replica is a bit of a waste but still if the insurance doesnt allow you then its better than putting some s**t kit on it.
True, just looked on Piston heads but you will find majority of them will have something done, most of them will have the magnex exhaust fitted as they rust and people just opt to put a stainless on.
Most people that seem to own them now stick on rondels, big turbo, Ap racing brakes and then...
Cosworth any day, i am in the same mind set as you mate. I love those cars since i could understand what they were. I will certainly own one but the problem is that not many of them about are nice standard examples that having been played with by chavs nowadays.
Mine has 4000.....its only a new little girl though. lol.
On the other hand my uncle has a Saab 900 on 437,400 and its used as a tow vehicle for 2 thoroughbred stallions. Its actually amusing as hell.
Thats the exact same problem that happened with my mums megane, the steering wheel was fucked and everyone that came and looked at it questioned the mileage as you expect that from really high milers but they are just s**t steering wheels to be honest.
Saw this last night, was looking at it but i just think it looks like a normal 172 with turinis on it, guess its a little more sleeper but never really been a fan of silver cars though.
Would be a well good track day project, just get it all straightened out and then hammer it round a track. Wouldnt need to worry about getting it all road legal but still such a shame to see another one go.
