Almost anything that hasn't significantly compromised the integrity of the passenger compartment is fixable...it's just whether or not it's worth it. If Dougle was my car and if I had the facilities (big if!), I'd probably have fixed it. In any other circumstances...nope.

If my car got damaged like Dougle...I'd probably pay to have it fixed professionally...maybe...hmm...if I didn't, I'd probably regret it later!

cheers

Indeed, which is why I'm hoping to repair mine, if/when it returns home! In theory it's not worth it, but to me it is, especially when done through scrap yards etc. Need to have a proper look first.

Adam, It was well worth repairing at that sort of mileage back then in 1994. You really would never think it was the same car.
