thought i'd better asses the damage on the car t'day, after a traffic bollard jumped out in front of me back in december, so i took of my front bumper and had a good look at the nice dent, from the looks of it the strut on the right side is bent inwards ( hence a massive crack in the windscreen) i thought i might be able to chop it out and weld in a new one, but now im not too sure its gonna be as easy as that... on top of the fcuk'd engine and a rather large dent in the floor pan and other bits that are wrong with the car i feel i may scrap the car, or should i attempt to repair it?

sounds like my old engine did before it finally went bang! i'm finding it is working out cheaper for myself to replace the entire engine than repair it, so I'm on the hunt now for a new engine...

deffo tough call, i bet you feel sick, i know i would.

could spend the money on it and get it worth a little more, at the end of the day it's the final cash sum you get for yours that will really help you get another car....

just an idea


cause at the mo, unless you have mega savings then it will be hard to get another ar, unless you get finance and that....

i think oyur at a crossroads with this car!
