Wilbo - TBH you would get a lot of that damage out from behind and using a slide hammer with weld on or screw in tabs. Tidy the arch return and it won't look too bad. Does it drive straight?
Had never even heard of a slider hammer until your post. Just looked at a few youtube videos and it looks a fairly simple process. Drives absolutely fine, the impact was pretty slow speed.crossy67 said:
Unless things have changed recently not all cat C's will require a vic check. There is a phone number you can call to see if the car will need one but I have deleted it off my phone as I no longer needed it.
Doesn't it make a bit of a mockery of the whole classification of write off's though. Cat C was originally for serious structural damage. That looks like an easily repairable dent to me, any panel beater worth his salt would get it straight in a morning.
Not my understanding, I know of a few cars that were cat C with no structural damage Doesn't it make a bit of a mockery of the whole classification of write off's though.

according to the HPI web site
Category C: This vehicle was repairable, but the repair costs exceeded the vehicle value. The insurer chose not to repair for economic reasons
Category D: This vehicle was repairable, but the repair costs were significant compared to the vehicle value. The insurer chose not to repair for economic reasons.
