jamies car is a rally spec 2 litre 4x4 (60% rear / 40% front), was lightning fast and had amazing grip and torque (bar above example), so it wasnt ur average run of the mill escort, which are . |

Who would have thought a hedge could do so much damage? That car doesn't look especially fixable to me. |
my thoughts exactly....
was it a metal hedge? or just one with a thick stalk in the middle? |

it looks pretty bad, hope you're ok...
i reckon thats fixable
go to a scrappy/breakers and get yourself a radiator with associated auxillaries, Bumper, and bonnet, and get the the subframe sorted out and you'll be alright ;) |

Man that looks a bit nasty. Remind me never to argue with any form of plant life where you live. :nervous:
Glad you're OK though.

Why have they declared it that?
Most of the damage looks cosmetic to me (from the pics)
I know u said the oil cooler and rad was damaged too but you could prolly use the cosworth items to replace those. (which are not all that expensive considering)
So what else is wrong with it to deem it uneconomical to repair ?
Are you going to buy it back from the insurance company?

They are sending me a letter explaining it, basically its only work 2-3k tops because of its age, as for buying it back, im asking around a few friends for quotes and see if its worth getting it repaired or not
oh well im now arguing for a company car hehe |
