salvage scud

what a shame for this car. worst case, what would it take to rebuild this? how about making it into a track only car without title?

There was some discussion about this car a couple of weeks ago (I thought it had sold). Here's a link to the thread (it starts at post #8):

sorry for the repost
thanks though

 

I have all parts necessary to repair this car as surplus from P 4/5 C.

 

That would be a fantastic project!

 

It really doesn't look too bad, cosmetically at least.

 

Car wouldnt handle the same at high speeds, control arms maybe bent,front sub frame been cut , need alot of work ,may get more money selling parts off it,

 

isnt chassis aluminum which is very difficult to repair? how would shop go about that even with new suspension parts, fender, bumper, etc?

 

Someone has to save her.........
Just a beauty ;-)

Race car... Check out suspension replace what is necessary, stick a front clip on there and go racing....

 

No doubt about that.

 

Yes it is. Aluminum cannot be bent straight. It has to be replaced. Well, it isn't difficult to repair, just really expensive. Because the aluminum rails are bent - you can see the bent passenger side bent in the photo, my guess is that this is a $60k to a $100k repair.

How do I know all this? I wiped my 360 Challenge front end on the passenger side out at Watkins Glen. Very similar damage as this car. That was an $80k repair bill and my damage did NOT include the bent rail - as seen on this Scuderia.

 

OUCH!!!!

A friend sent me this White wrecked Scuderia info a few weeks ago. Just by looking at the pictures and gathering needed parts plus a quote from an Audi repair shop, the repair bill was be in the $60k range, doing it on my own, a shop would charge 50% more to do the entire repair, while I would just outsource chassis repairs, body panels and painting, and taking care of all the mechanical fixes.

Massively overpriced, I would not pay more than $40k which is the offer I sent, because hidden damages might increase the repair costs, and the car with the type of history will always take a hit on resale, at least 30% from market value for a pristine car.

At the current asking, and sending it to a shop, it would cost more than the same car with a pristine history and ready to run.
