killed my 340!

Post by rickm » 24 Feb 2005 12:16 am

crashed on monday due to icy conditions. Snapped a lower suspension arm and bent the chassis crossmember! oooops. Apart from that, a missing lock barrel and a knackered sunroof its a very tidy car inside and out. I've been told its a big job to fix so going to scrap it.

You reckon anyone will take it off my hands (£0) for spares if they can move it. Will need the front end lifting up to shift it.

p.s. i'm in Manchester and it has 4 New goodyear gt2's

thanks

Thats a real shame Rick,as long as your ok thats the main thing, If its deffinately beyond economical repair and youve got the space your probably better off stripping the good parts off and selling them on here or ebay , at least that way you will get something back for it , I believe Hugh is looking for a bumper and headlight for a start

Sorry to hear the bad news, Hopefully you can get it fixed, but if not, I can give the bonnet a good home!!

i'll have to scrap it!!!!!!!

Post by rickm » 25 Feb 2005 03:07 pm

don't think anyone will want it, the guy at the garage said it might never drive the same again even if the tried to fix it!

haven't even got the space to keep it for spares, going to save the wheels and then have it scrapped.

It's a sad day.
