Ben, there is only a small dent inside the boot. The spare wheel well is still spot on which according to the repair guy is where it will 'kink' if the damage is too bad.


I really want her sorted properly, but being human the cash + car is tempting. Will have to see how much they offer I suppose.

I have done a cat c repair on a asrtra. Its well easy. They didnt look a the repair all they did was check the vin and engine numbers to make sure you havnt made a ringer. 10 minute inspection. Job done. I would definatley recomend it. I brought the car with the damage for 1200. Not bad for a 51 sri.

Oh I do wish !  :grin:


£700 cash + the car, which imo is pretty good.

Need to look at how the hell to get it VIC tested and if it'll need another MOT (the woman said it may or may not need another MOT) :undecided: .
