    There are a couple of options depending on the amount of damage to the car.
    Possibly fix, or part out for spares... and parting out is a BIG job....
    ...both in actual dismantle time, and packaging/sending etc.

    Was the car written off, so a salvage title..or simply damaged and no insurance involved?
    Do you have an idea of price you want..as it stands.


    As for pics.. if you care to send me some showing damage and general condition..
    ... I may be interested, and I'll also happily post them up here for you
    so others can look and give input too.

    Send to:- JoFotoz@san.rr.com

    Thanks

    Jo
    Great minds Jo!

    Vehicross

    Got the 00 Vehicross on the cheap and am bringing it back to life.

    Not the original motor, I was informed it was replaced by the previous owner. Talked to the shop who installed it and could not get much information on the age or mileage. They did tell me they installed a new timing belt, so that is a plus. Motor sounds good, no leaks under vehicle.

    So far I flushed the motor and filled with synthetic mobile 1 5w30.
    All fluids are full and seem good for now.
    Installed new Serpentine belt and pvc valve.
    Got windshield washer fluid and driver side window working.
    CV boots are torn, parts are on order.
    A smoker owned the car, had to bombed the inside of the vehicle a couple times, seems to be smelling neutral again.
    The Cladding needs attention and I am getting quotes on a paint job. I will put this off until last when I feel confident about the vehicle. I doubt I will stick with yellow but maybe.
    Inside of Rims in flaking. For now I will wire brush and spray a high temp paint. New tires on order.
    Running sea foam in fuel tank for a bit, after I will replace fuel filter.

    I will be taking it to Crestone Needle in the Sangre de Cristo Range in a couple weeks. This should tell me more about the vehicle.

    That is my Vehicross experience so far, love the forum...

    AWESOME! Very intrigued.

    Frame off restoration, or are you looking to sell the rolling frame?

    My first introduction to the VehiCROSS was about five years ago when my friend purchased one and over the years I got the opportunity to go for a ride in it several times. I told him at the time if he ever decides to sell it to give me first shot at it. Well fast forward five years and he is down sizing his fleet and moving to Texas with a career change. Well he gave me first shot and I didn't hesitate, so I'am now a proud owner of a VehiCROSS. I am now working towards putting my own touches to the VehiCROSS. Great site with a lot of helpful information. I have already PM'ed Jason165 about getting some flaps and knobs. Hope to enjoy the community and the VehiCROSS for a long time!

    I don't check this thread often, but I wanted to say howdy to all the new VXers.

    Howdy!

    Hello everyone,
    I'm the original owner of my 1999 VX. I have enjoyed driving her off road, inclement weather, all surfaces, and she's performed admirably in every situation. But now due to age I suspect, despite careful maintenance, she's beginning to have some problems and it is only now I'm discovering how rare she is, and how advanced technologically she was for her time. May I ask if anyone has experienced sensor difficulties, that is she's trying to go into four wheel high when not required. Her torque on-demand system is not functioning appropriately and after much head scratching and computer code reading, my mechanics are suggesting sensor replacements --not only a throttle sensor but another slip sensor is well. They say if I simply disconnect the four-wheel-drive capability, I will also lose ABS braking which sounds unsavory. Has anyone had to replace the sensors and if so what is been your experience? Thank you so much for your time.

    VX Nu B

    Hello to all. Just purchased a 2000 Black VX on Friday. I have always wanted one, so now that I have ADD, ADHD, IBS, and PTSD I thought that I would buy one. What a fun rig to drive; and already the Lookie Lu's are checking it out. I hope that I never get tired of explaining what it is. Just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to catching up on some of the info contained here-in. (I know, I know....use the search button first.)
