badboygolfvr6 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 had a crash on the motorway..flipped over twice got unconcious but left the hospital the day after. thanks to the strong heavy golf body im still alive and god abviously. iv got my car back. it was a green colour concept gti with a vr6 conversion. im was planning on getting another colour concept and dropping my vr6 engine in there. but the only thing is that the left centre bit of the engine which looks like a separate square/rectangle piece has a dent and a crack in it. isit possibly to get the piece separatly or isit repairable? any other ideas on what i should do when i get the conversion done?

badboygolfvr6 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 had third party insurance. i was in left lane with another car in middle lane. he moved into my lane without lookinto his mirror and quickly pulled it back but he had clipped my front right wing and i lost control. i went onto the juntion and was headin towards the railings so i pulled the steering to the right but it almost went to much to the right so i tried pulling it back to the left which triggerd the car to somehow to flip. it flipped over twice back onto the motorway from the junction. lucky there were no cars otherwise would of hit straight into me. the guy who hit me drove off. dont know what car he was driving. lost my car. dontr get paid either cuz of 3rd party. gutted Link to post Share on other sites

hellsVR6 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Nope, you are best sticking them on Photobucket or Imageshack and then sticking the url in like this:[img ]url of your picture [/ img] but make sure there are no spaces in the brackets, just have to do that to stop it thinking I am posting a pic! Oh and unlucky with the crash pal, but at least YOU are still alive even if the car isn't!And get your next car insured FULLY COMP! Link to post Share on other sites

rodney 17 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 1st of all well done on being alive you lucky Luck Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky........... man. If it happened at a junction the police may have it on record/video so may be worth a chat with them..... If you want to persue it.....2nd .... Sorry for your loss I know it hurts but don't give up what ever you do! Don't do a yellow one imo. Green is rarer I think!Just to confirm on the dent........... Obviously you'll need to check other aspects. Did the engine cut out our did you switch it off and were you the correct way up??? (which I think you said you did at the start..) If I am reading the picture right then it looks like the rocker cover which is an easy fix. BUT you need to have a much closer look at it as engines don't like running upside down full stop. So take a close look at everything. Any questions just post 'em.Once again sorry and well done on being alive Link to post Share on other sites
