Hi,

Two days ago a neighbour slid into the os corner of my mk6 Escort Van,

Now the insurers say it will cost £619 to repair and don't want to do it,

so they have offered either £700 for the van or £619 and i keep the van, and it doesn't get written off

I think i'll take the £619 and fix it myself

i can see it needs a headlight/indicator, front bumper and wing

My only question is are the wings welded on? if so whereabouts?

Thanks
James

yes along the top at bottom near sill and behind the bumper, if u take the splash graud off there will be 2 10mm or 13 mm bolts

Ok, thanks

Do you think a 6mm spot-weld drill would be good for drilling them out?

Thanks
