Basically.
Gavin smashed his car up, the next day we got it from the garage they were storing it and decided not to let a garage fix it and do it ourselfs.
Lee 303, Spanish Rob, Scott, Tony P, Warren, Jr, Gavin, Fad, and me took to it and did the following:
smashed out the rear 1/4 dent
smashed out the front wing
got the engine running again
got the drivers side lower arm welded up over the road from the car park we were fixing it in 
replaced the rear wheel with one from the scrap yard
built the rear light up using duct tape and odd bits
made two duct tape windows for the rear driver side and rear windscreen.
Fixed the brake lights not working.
Ripped out the deployed airbags
Oh and we all made vtec noises while pushing it out of the garage into this small industrial estate
This morning Gavin drove it from Nurburg area to Essex to store it on my farm, crabbing it all the way through europe for roughly 400 miles

 good job guys ... surprised you go that moving... What's the plan with it tho? I don't think he should try to fix it, probably best to strip it for parts or claim on insurance.
I hope Gav doesn't mind us posting about it. I've purposely not posted anything for the last few days out of respect, just incase he didn't want people to know.
