Clio 1.8 RSI recovery

[The_RSi_Guy]

Hi All,
so last year i was in an accident with my clio and looks like there may be some structural damage.
Ive now gotten round to the point where i want to get it repaired as it has sentimental value.
im an IT engineer not a mechanic so im not massively clued up on how to go about fixing this.
im gonna post up some pics and if anyone could give me some pointers on what i need to get replaced, what needs repairing e.g.
let me know if you need any other pics to help.

Thanks in advanced!
Mike

The cost to repair that is going to far exceed its actual value. Far, far, far exceed.

 

[Mr R.]

That's fcuked.

 

[Mr Plums]

Dent repair man?

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

That'll T-cut out mate. No worries.

I can understand if it has sentiMENTAL value. But it's a Clio. Spend the money on something memorable.

The crash he had in this clio last year is memorable.

Your going to need a body shell to start

Your going to need a body shell to start

so you would abandon the shell and swap everything over?

 

[Gally]

As a man of oustanding character and profession I feel I can really help you here.

Find a bodyshell somewhere and then pm me for the next step.

Yes if you can find one with not to much tin worm

personally, Unless you are going to do a FULL restoration of this car and keep it as a "MINTER" (although its been written off) then I don't see any point in fixing this car, regardless of sentimental value

 

[RichValver]

wow that's fucked, if it was a 16v/williams id say crack on repairing it but an rsi will never be worth much money imo and the amount of work that will need is gonna be alot

 

[Scrooge]

Far too gone.

 

[Budgie]

Yep, that's fit for the pile.

You must change body. Even in poland when we make cars from junkyard noone try to fix that

 

[jamesycc]

That's buggered. Not worth all the time and effort. Sentimentality isn't enough to bring that back if it was mine.

Would have been alright if the floorpan wasn't crumpled, as would probably just have been a new wing.
