Gavclassic Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 Picked this one up today, came from a local lad who had an altercation with a slow moving truck. Couldn't bare to see it go to the wrecker. After i get the motor and box out i'll asses the damage to see if it can be fixed. Quote
Des Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 Hopefully no bent rails, Looks clean other wise. Quote
Doogs Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 Looks very clean and straight from the firewall back ! Hope it's retriveable, such a pity this one copped a hit. Quote
Gavclassic Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Posted September 1, 2010 Well...looks a very big job, most likely keep for spares for my other KE35. Quote
skd30 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Posted September 2, 2010 If your parting would you sell the front pillar covers (if there still in half decent nick)? I'm after a pair. Quote

Clapped out Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 Depends how far your skills extend, thought about unpicking the spot welds on the lower firewall (chassis), below the a pillars and just replacing the whole front end with a donor? (Alot more welds i didn't mention but you get the idea), cheers phatke30! Quote
SLW42 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 Sucks to have that happen to such a nice car man, has it bent the chassis rails? So is it fixable? Quote
TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 Looks like the whole strut towers been pushed back against the firewall... Would make a sweet trailer :lolcry: Quote
skd30 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24117 :lolcry: Thanks Taz_Rx but i don't actually have any...there were a few bits missing when i got the car. Quote
Gavclassic Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Posted September 4, 2010 Originally i thought i could just get the rail pulled out then replace the whole front rails and all with another. Unfortunately its also bent the firewall and the drivers side strut tower is also bent back. Currently clearing some space in the back of the shed to store it, i'm using the peddle box and a couple of other bits for my other KE35. Quote
GJM85 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 You know what happened when they tried to bring frankenstien back to life... he killed, his master. I can imagine the story would be the same with......Frankenrolla. Quote
