Looking at the amount of labour that obviously went in, not to mention the cost of parts these days, its a wonder the poor car wasn't written off!

Nice work though, and good pictures!

Good as new.



May I suggest you edit the plate, just incase one day he decides he wants to sell it.

Hi talizman the car was written off but mick did not want to part with his beloved car so we re-built it for him.

Thats Great now I know what went in to getting mine fixed after a similar shunt on my O/S.

The main reason they write them off Is because in a front end smash on scoobs the cam pulley is usually damaged in some way. The assors are not inclined to spend a few hundred quid getting the engine checked to see if it is damaged, so they just write them off.

They wrote mine off at 6.5k so I bought it back and got it fixed for less than 4k, leaving 2k to pay for some mods and stuff

Hi Gaffer,

I thought it would be a right off looking at the extent of repairs, which certainly look spot on.

I'd like to think that if my Scooby ever has an "off" that it'll receive the kind of attention that your customers cars do!

Mines down there at the moment with rear end damage and I know it`s in very capable hands. The guys down there certainly know what they`re doing ( except for Adams sense of direction )LOL.

Kev

Nice photo diary of the efforts that went into Mick's car. I think it goes without saying how much trust I have in you & the guys and am well looking forward to the the further Clinc'd upgrades to my car.

You do know of course that because of the quality of work you do it'll be that fresh looking that I will need new wheels and mudflaps. Can't wait! To anyone with any doubts about the clinic - you need not have any... the guys up there are top lads and you car will be in good hands.

Kev
