bloody hell

 

[danni]

lets hope they got some good polish then!!
lol

 

[kev_mono72]

This may also polish out, the technology of polish these days know no bounds!

 

[Herr_spl1ff]

Hehe, with a bit of faith and some gaffer tape you can fix anything...

 

[Ben]

just out of curiosity - did anyone die in any of those accidents? Dont think it should be a laughing matter really. how would you feel if one of your family members died in a car accident and then you seen the pic on a forum with people joking about polish? Not nice eh, i understand that it may only be a harmless joke but put yourself in their shoes,

There was an injury report at the end of each pic, there were no fatalities, just cuts and bruises in the first one, nothing too serious...

 

[micra-mad]

on wreckedexotics.com the family are asked if the pictures can be used, even the pictures of cars where someone died (bad crashes section). also the weird/funny section doesnt include fatal crashes.

 

[NiteSite]

some horrible pics on there

makes you think about driving more sensibly, but of course, we all do anyways

 

[G_Man]

cant see why a micra is on wrecked exotics tho

 

[K10Daz]

wayne could fix that..knowing him he would have been round asking for bits off it to keep in his shed for a rainy day lol

 

[kev_mono72]

lol, yeah, the wheeL looks alright, has a nice little spoiler too!

 

[K10Daz]

wayne: "i could use that black bit for something"

wait a min, isnt that wayne wi the white hard hat on pulling the remains of the front bumper off??

 

[kev_mono72]

yeah, the one behind him is trying to pull him away "Wayne, its gone, relax! You cant fix it!"

 

[K10Daz]

"where theres a will theres a way, you work on saving the drivers life ill ressurect this lil lovely k11"

 

[NeX]

hahaha lol, yea nothing that a bit of filler and Chicken wire can't fix

it's probably ok for a cut 'N' shut job.....

 

[kev_mono72]

hmm, duno, the roof seems a bit bad, it wouldnt be a 50/50 job anyway... besides, isint that illegal

 

[NeX]

it is actually legal! but most people don't do it for moral resons....fwn

 

[kev_mono72]

really? its legal :O wow, what the hell! Why is it allowed?? Thats crazy!

 

[kristian]

Its legal because its fine to do..

front of one, back of another..

simple really, but due to SIGNIFICANT lack of expertise. Many 'dodgy' garages killed/badly injured people. In rallying and autograss this is common practice..

/kristian

 

[Herr_spl1ff]

It has to be certified or done by a recognised garage or something like that but is perfectly legal so long as it's declared. If done properly it's as safe as the original too...

 

[fusca]

Terrible pictures...:down:

 

[kev_mono72]

its very unsafe though, as the chassis is in two pieces, just welded together, this is a real weakpoint in the car so is unsafe! Im still shocked that it is allowed!

 

[Herr_spl1ff]

Welding, if done properly can be as strong as the surrounding metal. The original chassis wasn't made from one continuous sheet of metal... Also the weld is likely to be stronger than several other points in the car where there are sharp corners or changes of direction or anywhere that has a hole in.

Cut and shuts have to be reregistered on a 'Q' plate to reflect the fact that the car is substantially altered and as such undergoes a rigorous test (like the MOT but more thorough) to ensure it is safe.

The weld isn't the problem, it's the competence of the welder!

 

[kev_mono72]

ah ok, cool!
