Not if the sill and floorpan's wrecked. Doesn't look like the A pillar or upper shell's bent, so there may be SOME hope if he find's a decent bodyshop.

Another one off to the breakers

Did you come across from the other side of the road as the sign is leaning the wrong way ? If you were travelling that way down the road and the back end stepped out toward the kerb then the sign would be pointing away from the car

yeah i came across the road, i came into the road turning right, got the arse out. all was good, so i back off, then it came out the other way, so i countered that, but then.....then.. it all went wrong, it just started fish tailing, ended up spinning round across the road into the post!

It's one way of learning tho...surley there was a cheaper, but im ok, the passenger is ok, just got ball ache building another

cheers for the posts
