Besides the major structural damage looks like the motor would have copped a far wack too. Even to some1 that was in the smash repair game im unsure if its worth the $ an effort.

I've seen quite a few front end smashed cars where the airbags havn't gone off... there are a few reasons for that to happen though... doesn't mean it was faulty...

I want to know how the rta know exactly what damage the car has to begin with, iv'e been told you need to show paperwork for every part replaced in the car so how do they know whats been reused or replaced.

From the windscreen back she's a beauty. Atleast on the left side.

On the surface, it looks like a complete driveline could be had on the cheap. Interior looks OK, nasty shunt though.

Alot worse damage that was on mine (BA GT-P 709) and it too was written off. I'll have to look through the posts in January to find exact amounts but insurance companies do not fix these cars because of the cost of genuine ford spare parts.
Let me shed some light on this one from some figures quoted on my car. Front Bar $2500 Rear bar $2000 Bonnet $1500 Engine bay assembly $2000 Front guards $300 each Rear $250 each Windscreen Then looks like all front suspension, brembo calipers require replacement, perhaps a couple wheels. At least 2 months of panel beating and a full respray. I'm guessing $40k or so in repairs and thats before you pull the car apart, you could find more. Car of that age and miles would be insured for not more than $50k, therefore write-off is the only option.

Hey ADSGTP the prices have gone up a bit since, I just got my F6 back after a colour blind old dude tore the front of it off at a set of lights and the panel beater was amazed at the cost of parts.
Front bar cover $2800 Upper Grille $695 Lower grille $565 Foglamp Bezzels $100 ea Plus the foglights and the foam and plaxtic inner bits...about $4500 all up, and took ages because its an FPV you need to supply a VIN, mothers maiden name etc... |

Who ever buys that car will most likely buy a new shell from Ford, around 8k, and re shell it. Perfectly legal here in Victoria. All you need to do is get permission from Vic roads. They will then inspect the wreck and the new shell before giving the go ahead to start work. This will then be recorded on the written off vehicle register as a re shell. The car will be re registerd as a GT Falcon.

That gt-p reminds me of my AUii xl ute ... So yea that is a complete write off n parts job. with my accident i sort of lost control at 130km/h plus and spun out hitting the guard rail at around the same speed. If there was anything dumber i could do i can't think of it ... well except go faster but as anyone who has caused an accident there is no greater shame.

Pretty sure that a Geelong Ford dealership sells BA Falcon Shells in Parts Trader magazine... doesn't make what you said above wrong, but you can buy them from a dealership.

Not sure on the sale of shells. I belive Parawolf is correct. If they wont sell you one then it must be a new rule. They used to be listed as a single part number in the parts books.
Vic Roads Standard No 25 outlines the requirments on page 2. This document can be down loaded from the net. Not sure on the rules in other states. Its a balance that has to consider the cost to insurance companys if the wreck value is less because it cannot be repaired legaly and preventing organised crime from re-birthing stolen cars using a wrecked cars VIN. The Vic Roads guidline seems to address that balance. I still see complete body shells new from Fords on transporters now and again here in Melbourne. Steve |
