I take it, it was non-salvagable seen as the doors and roof line have warped. But enough work would surely fix it?

Unfortunately the shell was a write off, the right hand side was over a foot shorter than the left. I got an agreed payout and bought the car back for £500 and whipped all the bits off (including the newly built engine) for my new project. It was a good outcome considering, but really do miss that car :lol:
