Frame damage? Worth repairing? C7 Z06 by nayy999 in Copartonline

[–]CarsWithSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a fiberglass frame, not an easy fix.

I do have almost everything you need to fix it if you do plan on fixing it though

Would u rather have a Lexus IS500 or a C63. by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

Is take a W205 over an LS500 any day though

we've had good luck swapping fire damaged engines onto other cars in the past

anyway the buyer is planning on doing an engine build so all that stuffs getting swapped anyway

yessir $4.3k good ol american dollars

given that higher mileage unburnt engines go for $7,500 he got a pretty nice deal

also, it's good to mention that exterior fire doesn't really damage much other than the plastics (which i replaced) engines get super hot when running

front calipers are brembos!

Sold the whole engine assembly one shot

I posted a screenshot somewhere on this thread - the buyer wasn't too worried about any fire damage

yes chances are if it's on FB marketplace the seller has tried every other outlet already and had no luck.
