I know how incredibly disheartening this is as i had my saff damaged by the trainee at work in a truck with no foot brake!. It went through the works insurance. first off i thought about having it written off then getting a payout buying the car back and re shelling it! But i couldent risk them not letting me buy it back nor would i let the car leave my sight for some gypo in a insurance yard to take bits off it so had it fixed. Cost just under 5 grand in the end through the company insurance

Yeah, the car is going nowhere mate, I was worried about it yesterday when it was parked in the garage at Donington with so many people hanging round it, that's when I asked them to lock the doors to the garage in case anything went walkies.

Glad you got yours sorted though mate

Just thought I'd update the thread for one last time, a friend picked up the car yesterday and took it to his unit for stripping, ready for disposal of the shell, I wanted to strip it myself but due to being in bed with some sort of death virus for the last 3 days ansd needing the space I thought it was easier just to get him to do it.

Last pics before the crusher...
