i wouldn't bother with it mate,

that was my mates girlfriends car. it was already a cat c car when she had it. the both popped over to see me one night and she left it parked on my road in the layby. next thing we know a vauxhall corsa has hit it up the arse bouched off another car then hit it in the front.

i saw the car at ford fair this year and who ever has reapired it had done a half arsed job of it. they have only replaced the rear beam and bumpers, the shell itself is still bent,

you can tell by the shut gap on the drivers door and the bonnet.

we were going to have a go at fixing it for here but it defo had to goon a jig and it wasn't worth it.

i've got some pictures of it somewhere of when it was bent. i'll see if i can dig them out and i'll post them up

One of my mates used to own that and it wasn't that reliable I never got to see it in the flesh though but I heard it went well.

A massive amount of impact was taken on the o/s rear wheel, not only did it bent the beam, it moved the rear quarter and the beam mounting. only very slight mine you.

do you know the owner then?

it would be nie to see exsactly whats been done
