Bulkhead damage usually means that the shell is a write off - the way to repair that is to get a new shell

Just cos it has a damaged firewall, dont mean it needs a new shell, could be repaired. No insurance company would do it, but a private would do it if it was worth it, it would be a fooking big job!
Oh sorry, acording to some people i dont know wot im talking about even though i do similar stuff to this 5 days a week!

imagine a truck side on blocking two lanes of a 40mph road, it was side on as it was cutting across both lanes to get into a turn off but the driver fucked the turn and couldnt get through so by the time i realised he wasnt moving anymore the road was wet and i skidded into the rear side of him inwhich there was a thick metal pole from the loading bay that ripped part of my bonnet then went through into the bulkhead leaving a dent and crushing the windscreen sill that hold the glass in place
