hey all, how much do you think this would cost to fix? or any ideas on how to go about it etc. the guy saod becuse it has a tow bar u can basically pull on the tow bar with some force and bend it straight again? the wagon was rear ended and has bascally pushed the back forward and down. i cant open the rear right door eitha. (sorry about the quality, was taken on my phone)

the rear tailgate, cant see it too good, but its isflat basically beyond repair.


side close up


another of the side

Nothings unfixable, looks like the roof is bent too, whats the door gap like between the front and rear doors? Also is the sills bent, also have a look at the floor in the rear of the car.

Yeah nothing is unfixable , but if I was an insurance assessor I would be writing this old girl off.

It will be fun locating a replacement tailgate.
Even once the rails are pulled straight, you will still have a lot of work on the quarters and rear panel.
Not undoable, but not as easy as just pulling on the toe bar.

I know where there are a couple of wagon tailgates in S.A.

Just need a wagon rear bar, have fun finding one of them, the sedan ones have a no. plate lamp in them.

it looks like you will have some fun tryin to repair those rear quarters becasue i am pretty sure that you will need a new one or 2. do you know if the rails are bent?. oh and yes how is all the door gaps? do they line up properly or are they all different sized gaps? have fun with this one dude. not meaning to be a smart arse.

Cost:
Fix rear hatch-$500
Fix dent in side-$300
Having fun drifting when hits occured- Priceless
Just kidding, probably $1,000 to $1,500.

Unless you can find a rear cut, and have a panel beater in the family, this car is now a parts car. Good work to whoever screwed the pooch on this one.

Roof bent = write off. In all assessors books.

i have no problem sourcing parts for a wagon as i already have another one at home. but there is a faaaiiir amount of rust in the rear left quarter of mine. but luckily the red wagon isnt mine, but one i was going to buy.
