Get lots of pictures of the damage and the repair as they go, im, sure it will help get the best value from it if/when you sell it on.

I would be happy to buy a Cat C or D if I could see the repair work in detail personally. Glad such a nice example isn't being scuppered!

Definitely this. After my experience in my post I have seen what it takes to write cars off (not much in most cases), so I would always consider cat C and D repaired cars if I was happy with the repair.
