I've already bought most of the panels, i've already replaced the the bar on the rear swing axle to straighten the rear wheel, but the only thing i`m wondering about is the sill section... Just need to find some bumpers now.

I managed to come too fast into a sharp right, braked hard and it started to twitch then slid sidways at about 50mph and hit 2 small trees and landed on a football greenon the other side of a hedge. We were then stuck locked in this football pitch so we had to breakout of there before the old bill turned. Ended up smashing one of their bollards out of the ground.

I am fully comp, but it will be cheap for me to repair it myself as i worked in a bodyshop for 3 years. Putting it on a ramp in the next couple of days to inspect the n/s sill section and floor.

As the owner of three 200's its sad to see one like that.
But as for sympathy, no way. Going into a sharp corner at 50 is asking for trouble. I dread to think what would have happened if anyone had been on the field at the time!!!!!!!!!!!
As for repairing it, I wouldnt bother as it will be hard to get that chassis straight after a smack like that.

as others have said, really its not worth repairing due to the smack, and the sill, the panels may never line up right again, it may not drive the same ether
looked mint before aswell fella,
hope you sort it soon,
hopefully that floor wont be bent but i wouldent count on it

We have taken the sideskirt off and inspected the sill and is not as bad as i first thought. i have managed to source all panels apart from the rear bumper for a meer Ł165! The rear wheel now sits straight and drives in a perfect straight line down the road.
Will keep you informed how it goes.....
