Why are you doing this? I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

what about the crushed n/s roof /A pillar or is a reflection Shocked


It is slightly dinted there but a new panel will be fitted when the body goes off to the bodyshop

I'll be getting the chassis's swapped as the body is having some TLC

See my second picture. The front chassis cross member has had an impact and im unsure how far the damage has gone back

I bought another chassis and am swapping everything over

Should be complete by the end of the month depending on the bodyshop repairing the shell

Insurance companies in the last year or two seem to have gone very lax on the categories they award to higher priced damaged cars.

I think it may be to keep the value of the scrap high. Whistle .

It was the recovery company that damaged the pillar

The crash was only the front end

At least some time-lapse photos... Evidence for your MBE ('Mazin' B Censored y Effort) award. Just nail a cheapo digital camera to a beam and hit the button every few mins. Whistle 2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

I wonder had the state of those wheels anything to do with the need to remove the body Rolling Eyes


What happened matt? A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

The body is fine i am replacing the chassis as the crossmember with the towing eye is bent

The body is coming off to go to the body shop and the chassis will be changed over the weekend

Cambelt and all the oils will be done at the same time
