Well as you know I bought this for £60 and i've took the wing off and just put a headlight in today... looking better already don't you think?

However does anyone know if this can be sorted? It's the catch where the bonnet hinge goes on to and it's bent

2 pairs of grips!, 1 to hold it, one to twist it, out some effort in it'll budge! |

maybe a bar off a jack on the end of the grips for leverage |

Hey up, just an update.. Gobbo off these forums to help me remove the bumper and remaining wing!

Looking quite aggresive

The knackered bumper ang err a random fog (pain to get off)

Gobbo salvaging the spots, unfortunately the surround had to be destroyed but the actual fog was ok.
All it all got quite a bit done, the rusted bolts in the side that connect the bumper were the worst and had to be forced out
We got a clearer idea of the damage, and tbh it's not bad.. The metal next to the indicator is bent and the bonnet hinges but the suspension looks straight, so i'll keep you updated! |
