So needed a cheap small car for a run about.
Managed to buy a cat s salvage citigo from copart. Thought it was a good deal.
Well when it turned up it appeared worse than in the photos.
Dragged down the one side. Needed a bit of TLC.
So replace os wing and strut, repair front bumper, repair rear bumper, replace mirror, repair quarter.
Well the rear quarter was fair distorted, in about 40mm and a little tickle on the inner wheel box. Nothing to drastic but can see why they wrote it off.
So out came the hydraulic presses and Jack's. Hammer and dolly ti dress some tension back into the stretched panel.
Filled the quarter and as of now all in primer.
Hopefully into paint in the next 2 weeks.
Will stand me in less than 2/3 of retail price.
