Dead Zed ?

[peterandjenny]

Following on from our friends looking for a new car I thought you lot would like to see how an old zed stands up to being hit in the side .
Lucky the island in the dual carriageway is so wide here

Parts of a silver focus

View from the other side the junction in the far distance was were it happened. The other car did not stop but left number plate at the crash site.

That looks repairable to me or is the damage worse than it looks?

 

[EnthuZiaZT]

That's Horrible, not only because your friend had an accident, I hope they are ok, but because it is a car you have cared for and now it's broken.

I guess it depends if the rear wheel took any of the force. If it did then goodness knows what damage could have been done. If its just the door, wing and sills it might very well be repairable.

Such a shame, at least their fine, the Zed is replaceable.

That looks like it could/should be repaired, but you can bet the insurance company won't be bothered to... Not being rude, but auto trader is saturated with 1.9s under 2.5k at the moment and that's what they'll use for the calculation,


p.s. edited your post to include the images to make it easier for peeps to view them

Omg so glad your friends are ok
Have the police caught up with the reckless B$$tards that crashed in to them?

Sill looks OK.

 

[Redline]

Sill looks OK.

Agree - Just had a closer look at the larger images and no sign the wheel took any force.

Tough little car the Z, my first one took a whack, the Pug came off worst. Both the mrs & me got out with pretty minor scuffs but a bit of a shock though. Poor old KPR went to the Z shed in the sky, along with a full strongflex kit new bilstiens all round & lots of TLC on the way.

Such a shame after all you put into the car Martin, but as long as you both walked away then you can do it all over again,.......................... only better.

Poor little Z
Let's hope we see the photos of the Z when it's fixed

Very unlucky - let's hope they find the culprit and they throw the book at him/her!
