Sorry to hear :( there isn't many left on the road. Hope you're ok?

Have you got any pics? and is it not repairable?

I know, shame to loose it.
Pics to follow.
I miss it already.
Bent to the subframe and can not get
parts for it anyway.
It would never be truly straight again.

I've still got 2 Vortexs, one Im building for a rally
car.
The other is from the kangaroo incident.

I've just got whiplash and 2 days off work.


Thanx all!

I feel your pain - once you have had Spider Manifold goodness life in your life the next step post crash is a part out and buy an RS (Wagon of course).

One went, bare, linkages, no diff lock - $600 recently

great box, mad exceleration. Short gearing, much shorter than standard L

SO sad:( to hear another scooby (particularly hard to find) is going to Autoheaven. In saying that I am definately interested in the Engine with other supplied bits + gearbox and diff and possibly the seats. perhaps you could advise on $$$ seeking closer to time you are ready to part with. cheers

yeah pretty sad mate.

well it wont be cheap. i spent many long nights in the workshop getting it how i wanted it.
everything is in mint condition driveline wise, i think it has been recently rebuilt.
i KNOW the heads were conpletely rebuilt in july last year.

i also have other spares

spare Spider EA82 VF48 Turbo - Mirror polished compressor housing - ZERO play.

NA MPFI heads with repairable cracks

1989 NA MPFI cams - hottest cams of the bunch

EA82 Turbo Block - Recently rebuilt approx 10k on it

all matter of brackets and bits for EA82 engines

Note also that this vortex has the biggest EA82 engined L series Swaybars produced.

PM me with anything particular you are looking for too.

Cheers

Yeah I wouldn't give away anything that I have personally laboured over, so I would b prepared to pay reasonable wads. At least there are some other goodies available if I miss out on the big one. Oh and I sincerely hope the physical aspects of your encounter don't scar yourself or the others involved. The psychological side is prob bad enough for you.. :(
