EFFalcon · 06-02-2005, 09:54 PM

bugger...
that thing will go for a pretty penny :o
Engines + bodykit + wheels

Casper · 06-02-2005, 09:55 PM

I'm about to cry.

At least the engine will live on.

XplosiveR6 · 06-02-2005, 09:58 PM

that just makes me sick, especially to such a rare car

Bucknaked · 06-02-2005, 10:00 PM

HOw much do you think it will go for?

Maybe Rims, Engine, box, wing and bars are salvagable.

b2tf · 06-02-2005, 10:00 PM

Yeah, not too sure what happened to it, but as a bonus it looks as though some of the kit and possibly the wheels are salvageable. The engine bay also looks relatively undamaged.

klawsterfobik · 06-02-2005, 10:01 PM

engine does look ok though.. very sad sight though :(

galaxy xr8 · 06-02-2005, 10:02 PM

Damn, I wonder what happened.

AUsome · 06-02-2005, 10:02 PM

I can't look!!!!!!!! One less manual as well...

Bucknaked · 06-02-2005, 10:03 PM

Oops, my mistake, front bar is cactus

Envious · 06-02-2005, 10:04 PM

damn tragedy..... R.I.P :(

Bucknaked · 06-02-2005, 10:05 PM

Wonder if this one was on the t-series web site. I

b2tf · 06-02-2005, 10:07 PM

Yeha not sure Dwayne, from what i can see the compliance plate on it is 5/02. That doesnt really narrow it down though.

Me too, I have the window open but don't want to look.

dogbreath_48 · 06-02-2005, 10:15 PM

looks like the 'ole petrol poured into the interior job maybe? given all the damage is to the inside and out of the windows.
if so, bastards....
if not...danm tradgedy anyway..

Bucknaked · 06-02-2005, 10:16 PM

Not long ago i saw a picture of Geoff Polities T-Series he had. Same colour, I think same wheels. Imagine if this was his old car.

Don't even want to think about it.

Full rebuild job. Just looks like a fire and some damage to the bonnet and front. Maybe no real structural damage. Couldn't it be stripped back and some stuff done to the body to clean it up before the rebuild?

i imagine th sirface of the panels would be scarred, and it's possibly twisted/warped from the heat. but then who knows...there may be hope...

b2tf · 06-02-2005, 10:24 PM

I think more likely someone would strip the engine and put it into another AU.

Hmmm, i might just go see how it'd look in the Fairmont....... considering thats what the TS50 is based on and all. :newangel:

Supa R00 · 06-02-2005, 10:25 PM

Bloody sad sight..... if it was theives that did this it makes it all the worse

you need to get up to scratch with the law. thats a stat write off.....will never see the road again EVER. rims i wouldnt touch either being alloy and the heat that was above them could have weakened them. probably only the engine and rear bumper are a sure thing from that car. (thats worth something) gearbox would be a 'maybe on inspection'

At first I thought the owner may have eaten Mexican but when you look at the rear shots and see the fingerprint dust on the wing it leaves no doubt to what happened. Damn scum, why did they have to burn it, why couldn’t they just clean their grubby little prints off it.

Cheers, Danny

Must be thieves. You can see the fingerprint powder on the car in the photos!

Stat write offs can be re-registered with a full engineer's inspection I believe?

no. sorry not in this state at least. it is mainly to prevent 'rebirths'.

JADED6 · 06-02-2005, 11:23 PM

That'll be a parts car for sure.
front lights, some body panels (rear bar, spoiler etc) engine.
I got first dibs on the charcoal interior. Looks hot ;) (or atleast it was at one stage)

XR Martin · 06-02-2005, 11:41 PM

Hmm, I may go up for a squiz to see what it goes for.
Ive got a feeling it wont be below $10k.

XR Martin · 07-02-2005, 12:06 AM

Is it just me or does there seem to be alot of burnt cars there? With very few of them looking like the fire started in the engine bay?.
Smokers dropping their butt perhaps?

Twisted · 07-02-2005, 12:07 AM

Ouch!

Mmmm engine up for grabs though...

chief · 07-02-2005, 12:14 AM

Well there is 18 T3 TS50 left I believe. Before this write off wasn't there an article on a Silver TS50 T3 that rolled into a ditvh and all the occupants walked out uninjured. Then there is this atroscity. So I believe there is only 18 left.

There is no excuse for this type of malicious damage. Especiall to such a rare vechile that was someones pride and joy.

There is no emoticon for what I am feeling right now!!!!
