Default crashed classic

I have just been a complete **** and put my classic into a tree.
Damaged front bumper, grill, all lights and spots, off side wing, bonnet, broken front anti roll bar drop link, bent steering arm, bent lower wish bone.

Insurance say the car is a rightoff due to the high milage.

I intend to keep her going.

Does any body know a decent repairer in the Guldford area that can help

Bad news, glad you are OK.

Breakers will be good for parts.

if i were you i would have kept my insurance company out of it . Over the next 5 years you will pay far more in inflated premiums than the secondhand parts to fix your classic up i reckon.

its not that hard to do aslong as its not jigged

strip it down and then take to a bodyshop or if you have some skill see if you can screw the panels on and get someone to pop round and mig a few welds on then grind and spray the panels then buy a wing and bumper in the right colors and you will be done,,,,, sounds easy but there is time BUT the feeling of achivement will be off the scale i promise you
