Default ST170 wreck=possible parts

Not sure if anyone is interested but I was made aware, by a mate, of an ST170 with front panel damage (mostly cosmetic) up for auction by Pickles Auctions in Queensland...

http://www.pickles.com.au/damaged/ve...009845/lotid-0

looks like a good possible parts carve up : (i.e. the engine inparticular) as they don't appear that often. Pickles has it down as going to auction on the 5th June and I have no idea of any ball park figures and/or if there is any reserve, just thought I'd bring it to light in the forum, just in case anyone is after one!

Looks like those fog lights are still in good condition too. To save yourself 127 euros EACH on those from EP. Don't think they'll have any problem whatsoever selling that car.

Crikey the aribags haven't even gone off!!! They probably only think she's worth $15-20k and not worth the repair cost. If only I had a property, I'd buy that in a heartbeat and keep its bits for another car.

Sean, that's your baby right there mate!!!!!!! One to buy and keep and gut every part from.

I think if the car is classed as a write off, legally it cant be re-registered. Or is that a load of crap ive heard...

Can be a stuatutory write off or a repairable write-off. Repairable is just that. caters more for enthusiasts than insurance companies which might have just looked at the cost of repair and decided not to pursue.

Sorry to dig this thread up again.... but I just couldn't help myself.

I spotted the same ST170 that was in the Pickles auction on Ebay (ends 20th June)- minus the engine! so someone had the right idea...

Just thought I'd check see if it was someone on the Ford forums to see how they went with the engine swap (if that is indeed what they did with it!)

You'd get a new aribags and steering wheel cover too Steve

If I had my car still I'd bid on that without telling anyone...
