So judging by road pic, are we guessing she passed the MOT???

Dash looks good, how's the Vapor display holding up, do you rate it?

I'd say so. Anything can be repaired, but the chassis looks well twisted.

The Focus Cossie is an awsome car, but it will bite you in the ass at some point. Very light in the back end, not as much of a boot overhang as on a real Cossie. So it is very wild at any power.

Probably not if the chassis twisted, loads of work involved on a jig to get it straight. Took me ages to resolve a MK3 Fiesta on a jig once, thing was a mess. May as well cut your losses and chop out useful parts and reshell.
