Thanks for finding this Jan 2017 report metic. Interesting that the person who put the Claremont ghost videos online had a screen saver of multiple images of Julie Culter's car and Cg's crime scene. Multiple small images, that must have been copied off an earlier TV report or they had the original photos used in the newspaper, which were black and white, or they were there and took their own photos?
I'm glad metic doesn't think the waves were 6 m anymore. The zone where the waves are braking has the most force, but he damage to the Fiat was done before it was being turned over in that zone. See car V ocean for a car to be repeatedly hit by waves twice as big with similar or greater frequency. No damage.
There is far less or minimal wave force underwater, where the car was before it was discovered. Note that the last newspaper report which mentions the forensic report done on the car says the police are still puzzled how the car got into the water. Also much is missing from what was reported and I'd hope with the 30 year anniversary coming up in June this year that the case file is released, or an Inquest is announced so the information can come out, or it's connected to the CSK. Note that the supports for the roof are still intact and straight (circled), similar to what they were after being hit by a train.
This video only solidifys my view that the damage to the roof of the Fiat was caused by a separate major event, something that would exert similar to 100 tone directly down onto the roof of the Fiat for at least 30 seconds. The strange damage to the side of the vehicle I'd say was caused by sideswiping or hitting a pole side on.
