CAT D?!!!! WTF?

[Vik54]

Not sure how this can only be CAT D? - I mean its obviously not just a case of new front bumper now is it?

looks like it was an 'enthusiast's' car too

difficult to tell from photos, but the damage doesn't look too bad

I guess it depends on what you cant see. It would still be a cat D when repaired though.

That car looks familiar

Love the way it says on the advert, 'SAFETY FEATURES... AIRBAG DRIVER, AIRBAG PASSENGER': Whilst technically they're both still there, not sure they're of much use now!

I think so

o/s/f chassis leg is damaged + all the other obvious stuff required will require around £6000.00 in parts alone

Ah there u r Mr Thoms..............and there was me about to post 'gotta cost a minimum £4k to fix that'................

I also thought it looked familiar, but I think its because it has so many features of cars we have here - its got the Greddy skirts like robs and the Nismo like shires for example.

not too bad if your doing it yourself

 

my concern would be if the chassis had been pushed back and if it needed jigging.

 

i tended to avoid Cat D's

It was the camera detector in place of the ash tray that made me think, I remember seeing a guide for that somewhere

Any one know who makes the rear diffuser?

It seems very familier to me... just going through all my pics!! Think a few people had the pogo though!

Thatcham 350Z repair guidelines no longer allow recommended repairers to pull the front chassis legs on the Z or G35.

 

Unfortunately most bodyshops with jigs have to follow the Thatcham guidelines.

 

Replacement legs have to be fitted and they will not carry that out with the engine in place.
