Written off D3. 110 Body?
Ok. I wrote off my D3 on Tuesday. The water didn't look that deep......
I'm planning on buying it back off the Insurance Company.
Any body got any experience of putting a 110 body on a D3 chassis? Only 3 inch difference so thinking of it.
Only in the preliminary stages of thinking at the moment. Any more ideas?
I could always break it for you lovely people?2011 - 09 TDV6 HSE (Written off Nov 2012 - The water didn't look that deep.....)

If it needs an engine, you still have to replace the engine. Doesn't really matter about the body
Could be a perfect opportunity to attempt fitting a TDV8, also

Not wishing to pi$$ on anyone's chips but I had the same experience myself about 3 years ago, the insurance company deemed it a Cat B write-off and said it had to go to a breakers, no chance of buying it back. Clive
