Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 a will cut the story short. my friend bought a six speed tt and has badly damaged the front end, i have no pics, he needs front suspension, front slam panel, wings, bonnet, that kinda off thing. he has asked me to import him a damaged car from japan for parts. the question is does anybody know if a can get a back end damaged car in the uk or know where there is one for sale. we are also looking at parts but he wants a car. thanks jurgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 you will probably find most of the bits on here for sale cheap. to buy another car is madness. someone like dude or lovatt will have a lot of bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Speak to Gaz or Kevin from Envy. There was a breakers yard across the road from the old premises which used to have a few damaged Supras in that they'd sell as a whole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 its very hard to find a supra with rear end damage in uk. all the ones i've ever come across in the past two years were front end damage and believe me i've been searching. but you never know. and when supras come into salvage auction sites for spares you need a breakers licence to bid for them. so you might be better importing from japan if you know someone whos knows someone.

keron Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 to be honest if you importes a damaged car from japan you would still be looking at at least £1500. you could get a damaged sup for about 400 quid over there! but then you have shipping, duty, vat, delivery, landing charges etc etc so this is where they screw you up on things! if you can give me a list of what you need i know a few people breaking them so i can ask for you? keron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 the lad that has crashed it wants a car and is willing to pay for an import one, he says there is quite a lot of damged to pipes, slam panel, wish bones too much to list. and then he wants to sell the engine,doors, and interior from donar car to get some money back. he wants to just drop both cars at a garage and let them get on with it, and labour is cheap as its his mate. this way he does not have to muck about looking for various parts every time he comes accross something he needs. and he says insurance is out of the question as he is only 20. nice car it was 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 My mate imports jap engines. He often gets the car cut in half in Japan then ships just the front end over!! Which might suit your mate. As shipping costs are cheaper and I think import duty is less.....So you could pursue that avenue...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
