What had happened to the D3, front end look lower?

I presume your quite good at putting thing back together them  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The front N/S tyre was flat and the airbags were completely deflated as it hasnt been started for 3 month

It was sat in an insurance yard in Bristol so i had one of our hauliers go and fetch it

I am good at all the mechanical side but it goes to a body shop for paintwork

Airbags deflated? you mean they were out and deflated? Doesn't that mean it's had a smash? The suspensiuon looks lower all round.. even lower than access height tbh..

Don't mean to ask the obvious but if it's in an insurers yard - isn't it a write off? 09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Yes but a right off doesnt mean it was beyond repair

I saved £3000 on this car and it doesnt matter if it says CAT D on the HPI check aslong as I know i repaired it to the highest of standards

i think if your buying and repairing yourself, then there is a good saving to be made on CAT D

I personally wouldn't be able to do it myself, and wouldn't trust anybody else doing it, so CAT D isn't for me

For those who can, apart from a little of your own time, a decent paint job, why not  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm not sure whether taking a black Disco 3 and turning it into a silver Renault Megane is either cost effective or desirable?

That's not a Megane?! Not 100% sure what exactly it is, a Mitsubishi Colt or something? 09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Your not wrong...Its a CZ3 DID Colt (1.5 Diesel)

I wouldn't touch a Cat D damaged car, 3k saving is OK but you won't get 50% of what a HPi Clear D3 would be worth, dealers will run a mile

But I suppose it's a good way to spend less time with the wife!!! 2007 - Freelander 2 - GS TD4 Man - Sumatra Black, Ebony Cloth with Factory Dark Glass, 15" Rear DVD Screen, ALuminium Running Boards- PLUS the much Needed White Ind Lenses........

People are so scared of accident damaged cars

I saved £3000 on the Mitsubishi by buying it damaged,ive saved alot more than that on the discovery

But how much time do you spend fixing it? Wouldn't it be easier to get a second job and pay just a little more for an undamaged car?

Not to mention the spare parts costs + the tools...

The way i see it is, CAT D are repairable in most cases, so why not if you have the expertize

If your buying it, to do yourself, its your time which costs nothing, its a project keeping you busy with a satisfying outcome at the end Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
