Looks much better for a good clean up.

For what it is, that is a cheap car.

It great that another one has been saved from the breakers. CAT C seems a bit servere:

CAT- C INSURANCE RECORDED N/S REAR QUARTER WAS DAMAGED NOW FULLY REPAIRED ( EASY FIBREGLASS REPAIR ONLY )

I'd love to see a rolling road printout for this car. What does it rev to and what are the emmisions like?

Cat C seems at odds with the description though.. Category C from my understanding is repairable salvage normally applying to vehicles with significant (structural) damage where the cost of repairs exceeds book value.

So if its a rear quarter repair in FG only you'd be looking at what - £2k-£3k max all in? Even "book value" would be more than double that surely?

Cheers,
Matt.

Unless the work was offered to the insurer's 'preferred repair centres' - I've seen some utterly silly repair quotes on here, and owners who had to jump through lots of hoops to get their cars repaired (something not everyone is prepared to do)...

My N/S front bump cost £3K throught the insurance and looked like this:



If it is IM's car, it's been a long time at the menders!
