Bloomin hell, what happened?☹️

I managed to get it to a garage, as I was never getting round to sorting the problem myself, and of course there was a storm that blew a cattle shed down at their yard. I still can't process the chances of that happening after it sat in my driveway for weeks. It's probably a write off but still waiting to hear from their insurance company.

Heartbreaking picture mate, interesting to see how bad when she’s out of there !

Vinyl roof? Or is it really bad!☹️

damage could have been a lot worse, one cars roof completely collapsed so in comparison mine is mine isnt too bad, but the roof is quite badly dented so will probably be a write off.

Will you keep the car or not? It looks to be a nice pre-accident car!

If its a write off then unfortunatly not, i cant really afford the repairs.

It’s a shame but I guess it’s a breaker then!

If you took it to a garage and while in their keeping it was damaged then surely they are responsible for repairing it, regardless of what their insurer says?
