rsweeney 40 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 came accross someone with a manual 3 door silver vr6 standing in there back garden. Front crash damage - wings, bumper, slam panel all pushed in, dent in bonnet plus bent front leg. Rest is in good order with lowered springs - stainless rear silencer - good tyres and original rims in good nick - engine is removed waiting to go back in. hopefully car is being collected tomorrow as its a short drive to pull it home.Considering my best options here as the rest of the car is in good order. Might remove front bumper + slam panel then reinstall engine and gearbox- see if it can be driven then go from there. Its an obd2 and mines obd1 + automatic so not much use for swaps.not sure on how to get hold of front bumper either as im in channel islands ?any ideas as it was a great car before hand. - will get pics tomorrow i hope Link to post Share on other sites
