110 Firewall

Post by Landy »

I had a decent crash with my (ex)defender earlier this year and the wreck is sitting on bricks with the running gear and most of the parts stripped.
Someone has showed some interest in the firewall, but I don't have a clue how much to ask for it. It's not exactly a part in any wrecker's catalogue and the ones I called didn't have any on hand and didn't know how much to offer.
Any help would be great!!
Also, in about a month I'm taking the engine out and then it's pretty much a shell and there's nothing much else I want from it. Pretty much all that'd be left is the chassis and body. The body is pretty screwed from the crash and it was a roll over so I suspect the chassis may be bent but not sure.
Does anyone know whether bent panels/doors/car are worth anything, even to an aluminum wrecker, or is it not worth the time.

Cheers

I sold a perfect SIII firewall a few years back for $250. SIII items would be worth less now but 110 Items should still be at least that. There wouldn't be a big demand though.

I have sold the aluminium from some damaged panels to a scrap metal place. They will pay about $1.20per kg. You have to strip the aluminium from the steel yourself though, or they will pay you the steel price of about $40/tonne.

Good firewalls vary between $5-800 - depends on where you buy them and what is included.

Do you have the Dash and heater? - I will be looking for one soon.

The front wings are pretty stuffed unfortuntely, and so is the dash. I have picked up a cheap defender since and the heater is stuffed so I'm gonna move it over to the new new one. To answer any more questions about the state of the car here's a couple of pics:

Not a bad ad for safari snorkel. Still standing strong. In fact, I siliconed up a few holes and put it on the new truck!
Never posted an image before so don't know if it'll work.
Thanks for the replys

I still don't know how you came out of that in one piece..

And hang onto the heater core, I know somebody who might want it ;-)

Wow - how did that hapen - you are lucky you are OK!!!

Make sure the firewall is 100% straight (ok - as straight as the factory made it), I have seen ones from rolls like that where the top section/windscreen mounts have bent - not noticeable at first but enough to make mounting a new screen hard to impossible.

The brake assembly is all sold as are the internal front door hinges. The white hinges are still there though on the front and rear doors. The photo was taken after the accident, and although it's still in the same spot it looks a lot different. Most of the parts are sold, however the complete front diff disc to disc, gearbox, transfer case, complete engine, airconditioning and exhaust is yet to be sold. Plus heaps of small interior parts I never knew had a market for resale. However, I'm probably gonna move the engine, gearbox and transfer case into my truck now and sell the engine... from my truck. It's a bloody good engine with only 100,000km on it and the transfercase just got recon. Bit of an effort, but it'll be worth it!
