Replace, repair or refuse? (aka. You Can With A Nissan!)

[Anonymous]

…or not!

Repairable, or will it be needing a couple of replacement parts? thumbsup.gif 😯

We know the guys who were in the car at the time of the smash, and it was witnessed by several AOC and NPOC (Nissan Primera Owner’s Club) members.

Beats me.

I would not attempt to fix that. Even with a new hood and bumper and grill, I bet there is damage behind it that I can’t fix.

Latest report – the car is currently being sorted out.

The guys smashed into a tree at high speed. The airbags deployed and obviously the car did it’s job and absorbed some of the impact – they were both fine.

chop and new frontend?

in the early 90’s, I once bought a 12 year old ford Fiesta for something like £250 which is what it was worth. When I got home I was wondering why the hatchback was ever so slightly out of alignment. I thought it may have been the rubber seal as it was hanging off a little due to age. After I pulled off the seal a little more to check it out, I noticed a weld mark near the top corner and then on the other side also. I then checked the pillars and front window and it was the same, welding marks. Someone had chopped the roof and replaced it 😯

I took the car back to the guy I bought it off and got my money back though he claimed innocence. It was probably done in it’s early life when it was worth the effort and it was a very good job

a few years ago the main local Ford dealer sold my mates Dad a 2nd hand Ford Sierra. Can you believe that it was a Cut n Shut? :yikes:. To keep him quiet so they didn’t get bad press by him making this public, he got a brand new top of the range car in exchange for the old car w00t.gif

I saw that happen with a ’39 Nash before. Car came out without one dent. The tree is no longer there. Oops.

I bet the driver probably got thrown about more :shock:. New cars are designed to crumple as much as possible to absorb the impact these days aren’t they?

I’ve seen some of the crash test videos and it’s amazing how some cars crumple yet very little happens to the cabin thumbsup.gif

I’d still prefer to drive one of these though icon_headbang.gif

Definatley prefer to drive cars like that.

Cars are becoming safer all the time today. One recent safety addition is side airbags – many newer cars now have these working in conjunction with the front airbags. This combination provides an even better degree of protection during collisions. Maybe one day we’ll all sit inside a giant bubble in our cars… Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif
