Divszy Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 What parts can be salavaged... ie wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 In an accident like that you can rule out wheels and most of the front end boot spoiler some interior parts exhaust maybe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulR93 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Have they got the recaro seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 You don't really want the wheels from any heavy impact collision like this as they'll be weakened by the impact and be covered with micro cracks.

Swiftfocus69 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 www.hills-motors.co.uk I presume everything is for sale ,on the lookout for the New shape MK3 and came across the Focus ST-3 in the breaking section. Agree with above comments would stay away from wheels and some of the front end as this is where the impact was ,but interior and back end should be ok .

PaulR93 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have a 5 door Focus so would that 3 door Recaros fit in easy enough or lots of modifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulR93 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sorry just realised its a 5 door my bad but the seats still a straight swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftfocus69 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Would think so if your focus is the same body shape ,can`t see ford having different production lines for the St-3 so would just be a case of lining up the seat runners and bolt holes .

The Admiral Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The cracks can't be seen by the naked eye and have be known to crack if hit on pot holes which on UK roads can't be helped, even the M60 motorway between Stockport and Bredbury as big pot holes Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlooney Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Xenon headlights look good. Front upper grille good. Headlight washer system might still be usable Sent from my automated robot M1X-M4573R-700N3Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulR93 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Just got two quotes from that breaker. They are charging £995 plus VAT on the Recaros and £185 for the ST side Skirts which I think are way to dear considering Ford sell the brand new and primed for like £175. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
