Damn, have fun finding the rear end Good thing that the cars clean title. Nice purchase

imported_WyseGuy

wow that's a lot of rear end damage. the frame is prolly bent to ****. what about on the mechanical end like the rear axle and driveshaft? they are rwd right?

post after pics too! regardless for $9700 it's a good buy.

imported_kumanan

actually i dont gotta find rear end.. im buying OEM parts from lexus.. i get about 25% off all dealer parts from most dealers in scarb. Im getting the back quarter for $500, trunk lid for $700, etc...

SiR b16a2

The complete rear end for $500?? Noooo way, maybe the skins..

imported_Team Rukus

LOL

this is the funniest post i have read so far by you.
500 for a quater? from lexus? with 25 percent off?

what exactly is a quater going to do in this case?

i hope you realize you need a complete rear end half cut. unless you dad already sourced one out good luck trying to find it.

i hope you guys dont hack this car by pulling the damages and then replacing the skins to make it look proper eventhough in reality its bad.


the only true way to fix this car so its 100 percent mint again is to drill out the complete rear section of this car and put in a preassembled rear end from a cut car and then have it painted this is the ONLY way to have it a perfect car.

3-4k to fix this is is HIGHLY impossible.

replacement rear glass for this car alone is 500 and up.

btw what exaclty is this conversion you are talking about to 2006 model?

all i see is a different tail light there is no custom work needed from the pics you have posted.

imported_kumanan

yea the trunk lid and lights is different... but the 2006 trunk lid fits right in almost i think.

The quarter is $500 from lexus.. call in and ask if you dont believe me lol.
ill post all progress pics

SiR b16a2

Guy there is no way you can get the complete quarter for $500. Lexus dosnt sell the rear end anyway. Its going to have to be used from wreckers or something. And what Jay said. You need to drill out the welds and cut the rear end and replace it.

imported_Team Rukus

you mean quater SKIN.
quater skin is complete different from quater.

quater has 3 or 4 metals joined together.

imported_kumanan

yea yea the skin lol my bad. im not a body worker

imported_Rayz_si

Damn that's major collsion damage, but I see it repairable. Slam it on chrome 20's, VIP style.

Wicked ride I loove it, it's like the japanese fleetwood, fully loaded.

imported_kumanan

yea damn.. the 2006 ones have back seat massage's... :|

imported_JusBlaze

id rather drive around in that thing in the condition that it is than my whack *** civic

but yo honestly that car looks pretty ****ed up id have a hard time forkin over 10 grand for that, but yo do you

imported_mugenpowered

ings+1 has a nice kit for that model. Atleast I think it is that one. Anyways, came across it when looking for kits for my cousin's impreza.

imported_dmacbo

you're going to be looking for a lot more than 3 or 4 k to fix the rear on that

imported_Cablerat

good luck.

I remember seeing those wrecks at the auctions. Driving in with crushed rear ends selling for peanuts.

You gotta remember though, dealers don't just pass up "goldmines" like this. Most of them know the amount of work and money involved to make the car like new and profitable.

Also selling wise, when you are dealing with cars valued in the 30K+ range, an accident like this will be reported and on the history. Regardless of if the car is branded or not, you will have a lot of trouble selling this car. I know a guy that works at Fine Motors and 95% of people hear about even a little accident and they walk out, doesn't matter if the car is 10K cheaper. If you are going to spend 30K+(in this case up to 50K), you make sure the car is PERFECT!

However, If you are willing to do the work and spend the money then it's worth it as long as you plan on driving it yourself for years to come.

my car was salvage, a huge front end hit.. i got my 2003 civic for like... 2 grand back in 2005... i fixed it for 2-3 grand... i been drivin it daily 100km's ever since...

The lexus collision is NOTHING compared to how my car looked before it was fixed.

btw.. there is no history of an accident... plus its not branded.

kwasley

looks good, keep us posted with pics.

imported_Team Rukus

front end accidents is nothing compared to rear end.
