Well like I said the inspection is Tuesday so I'll keep you guys posted. Once I've got the report I've got a few friends in the trade i'll call and see what they think is possible.

I'm soooo  gutted though  :cry:

Check that the leading edges of the upper parts of the front doors match up with the windscreen surround. If the gap is not continuous (eg the top has a bigger gap than bottom or vice versa) bin the car.

The payout on the car is gonna be crap. It doesn't matter what you think the car is worth, they pay the book, and the book is always low.

Oh man, David I'm gutted for you :cry:

On the plus side, I would say that does look repairable. The outer wings look ok and as tinman says if the door gaps are the same then it shouldn't be anything too major. Even the bonnet looks unscathed :shocked: It may look bad, but from what I can see, I've done worse repairs than that in the past :wink:

Do let us know how you get on.
