this could be a nice cheap project for someone, it looks like it only needs a couple of pannels and it is well specced with low miles???

The left fender (wing) is held on by only nine (9) bolts. This would be a real easy fix if nothing underneath is bent...
 
Easy project, however it's bound to be a Cat D.

Based upon the earlier thread where we covered value of a Cat D then you have to say with a trade in of £9k (My buddies 2003 identical car is £8k trade in) less 30% gives £6k current value. Headlight, new wing, respray, indicator, etc. say £1,000 (on the cheap) then frankly the number don't stack up, come sale time.

The insurance company must have worked the repairs out at circa £3,000 to write off, else they woudl have repaired it, so there's probably some under the skin trouble too
 
Well, the engine picture does not look too healthy. Possible radiator leak?
 
the offside headlight from the front picture loos out of place as well, dont think it's as cheap as it looks.
 
As I said - and insurance company has already assesses it as £3,000+ Min repair bill, else it would be on the road again by now.
 
At that price, as everyone has suggested, I'd avoid.

Although damage is light, after repairs you might as well have bought a straight, clean example.

Unfortunately, this one probably isnt worth the bother unless price comes down.
