The corner of the scuttle pannel, under that(behind the battery tray) &the left pillar! All can be saved, caught it just in time!

Oh and the roof has a small dent, as the bonnet cane up on the last owner!!

Nothing major just sorted out all the engine bits, should be runnin it 210bhp again now! put new gearbox and other bits on!! (oh its a 1.9 bottom with T3 hybrd!) Had it rollered the other week before a fixed everything! It ran 186bhp (but thats coz it had a boostin problem plus others!!!)

Oh its a G reg, 90spec got just under 70k on it!
