Look at pictures 5 & 6.

I know you can't really tell from the pictures..but as just a guess.. what would you say?

Extremely hard to tell, not to mention its almost impossible to give an estimate off 2 pictures at a distance and over the net.

Roughly you'd be looking at 2K at LEAST (american dollars) to get it fixed, we can't tell if the core support is busted or the frame twisted etc etc etc. Parts alone would be quite a bit, seeing as you'd need a new rim (500 ish) front bumper (300ish) etc etc etc

im thinking for then that, it really depends on weither or not the crumple zone crushed or not... might not be fixable at all.

but why would they be selling it so cheap it if was fixable cheap..... but if you got it youd have a very nice car for parts to make a hot rod...

That's more than a little bump.

What the fuck? Since when does MG still make cars?

yeh thatd be expensive, especially labor wise. theresgonna be alot of hammering, shaping, and paint involved. i'd say 2k +. If u can buy all the parts ahead of time a shop might give you a better deal cus they can start work right away instead of having to order shit.

Because plastic modeled parts require hammering and shaping eh? 99% of that car can be botled on as a replacement.

Are you fucking retarded? 500 for a rim? who the hell would by a rim straight from the dealer? Those just look like 4x100 bolt pattern rims which have a shit-ton of aftermarket availability.

As far as the fixing the hood shouldn't even be attempted as it would be easier and cheaper to get a new one for id say no more then 200 bucks used if you want OEM and about the same price new for aftermarket. It looks like the passenger side fender (maybe drivers in england) is fine and the drivers side will just need to hammered out at the front.


For the cheapest route the whole car doesnt need to be repainted and dont let other people buy the parts for you as buying them yourself will save you money.

Realistically id say you could get the car to tip top shape for a good 700-800 American dollars.

Wrong.

We have customers all the time that bend/break their aluminum wheels, and we replace them from ones at the dealer because they dont want to buy an aftermarket set of wheels, that wouldn't make sense.

Good luck finding a used hood for that car :clapper:
