But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Looking at that I'd suspect the boot floor is fine. Mine has been rear ended and needed a whole new rear panel but the floor wasn't bent. The inpact on that looks to have been high enough to avoid such nasties.

new panels, assuming the rear quarter is a viable fix.

it doiesnt look much in the pic but it has creased across the swage line in the corner of the light. if you follow the swage under the light you can see it isnt straight.

absolutely gutted about this as it is the tidiest car i have had in a long time and i have just paid a sizeable deposit for an engine conversion. the money for parts is now going to be spent fixing this.
