What would make a Coop totally unrepairable? - 12/04/2018 18:25
Obviously if you woke up one Monday morning and you saw Godzilla stepping on your Coop and flattening it (although I think the bonnet would 'hold up' quite well ), then it's probably time to start looking for a new Coop.
But I'm talking about Coops whose conditions are due to not being maintained as well as they perhaps could have been - which can be due to many reasons that are personal and unique to the owner.
In most cases it seems to be a matter of the repairs at this late stage just costing way too much. I know for most people, no matter how much they love a car, there is always a point where the cost just can't be justified.
But say if money wasn't an issue, what would such a Coop's condition have to be like for the money to be of no use? Are there any things that have ever been beyond the capabilities of Coop specialists/welders/body shops/part shops in such a scenario? Or can any Coop be saved if you keep throwing money at it?
