if that had a new inner panel on it it would have needed the outer flitch to have been cut n joined which that hasnt. if that was damged n pulled out then ud see the repair on the inner panel. behind the headlight panel. and if it hasnt been repaired then its doubtful that has nething to do with accident damage.. has the front panel been replaced??? if not then i would be 100% certain its not accident damage... why dont u phone previous owners and ask???

STEvieN.I. You would be supprosed what some bodyshops do though. You would expect every one to work with the up most profesionalism and do everything to the book so the best job could be achieved. Though you see far too many bodge jobs

tbh u cant always do a great repair for what the customer wants!
the amount of people we have had in that the quater is really stuffed in and they want us to repair us is amazing!
there is a big difference between a good bodge which is actually good and bad bodge which is normally apalling!

Todays progress
Engine is now out, the pile of removed stuff is start to envelop my house much to my mothers displeasure
They go away for 2 weeks on Tuesday, I don't expect her to be too happy when she returns
As my brother is on holiday I decided to takr the opertunity to remove his car from the garage as its been there far too long  Again, I don't expect him to be too happy either when he gets back
So anyway, here it is safe & sound in its new home for the next few months. Much happier now it has a roof over its....um....roof can get cracked on with tidying up the bodywork now & some interior prepping
Plenty of room

The rear n/s one
I didn't bother taking pics as there isn't really much new
I've been a bit lazy with it but its my new years resolution to tackle things this year. Hence why I spent a few hours tonight in my cold garage instead of the warm house
I love it really...

Yesh
Im trying to sum up where I can lose weight from. But then again I was tempted to put a sensible kit on it to make it look nice, but adding sideskirts would be adding weight
Its a bit of a dimella
