, it looks a nice car....i hope it is a viable repair. Damage does not look too bad. New front end and you'd be laughing.
I doubt the car will go for more than a couple of hundred quid as GRP repairs are not cheep.
For those who don't know I recently sold a wedge front end for a mere £20 from the wreck I bought last Feb (See my profile for the pic). I knew I should have kept it.
Another front end for sale here:

It'll probably be broken up for spares. Shame really.

what is the 77 for ?? Im fairly sure TET Mouldings do the nose cone for about £700, someone in the know can graft it on and sort out any bits for around £400 and blow the paint in brings it to a square £1400 - £1800 depedant on where you go
Depending on how much you get it for in the first place, but in my opinion its the kind of thing I would buy and put on the road to enjoy the immense joy and pride of having saved another good car from a lonely existence

What's the differnce between GRP and normal fibreglass? Will minor repairs work
using the basic mesh and resin that you'd use to fix a boat?

Sorry my fault I think. I figured there was an difference between the two terms.
I thought there was something that made GRP superior to just "fibreglass" because
the term GRP is very new to my vocabulary, fibreglass isn't. I think maybe it's one
of those English/Canadian differences in terminology. ie: your "hood" is my roof, and
my hood is your bonnet.

GRP stands for glass reinforced plastic I believe, but Im uncertain as to whether there is any physical differences. I dont think there is buddy
GRP is a fairly new descriptive for me too
