    The dream might be over



    Have to hear what the repairer has to say, but it's not looking good for the old girl.

    Hit a guy who was turning into that street off the main road across the traffic. Contact was with his rear passenger side. Could have been a lot worse really.

    Everyone's ok, and that's the important bit.

    I hope they can fix the Disco, but it's not looking great

    Great idea, only mine is still in a million bits in a tray, or, more likely now, in a scrap metal bin.

    The accident was severe enough to shake the transmission into tiny pieces.

    Hoo that doesn't look good I can tell your bull bar is probably knackered hopefully the crush cans did their job and there's no damage to the chassis rails
    And hopefully your assessors don't consider the front body rail is frame damage if he doesn't I don't know how straight the front of your baby is gonna be after repairs

    Pull a snatch strap on the bull ball, get it near enough straight. Whack the bonnet back into place. Tack weld your wing and wheel arch back together , put in a replacement headlight and indicator. Drive it for fun.

    I hope you can get it fixed! If the chassis and bulkhead is straight they shouldnt be allowed to write it off. Find a white d2 wrecking and the repair could be relatively cheap/simple.

    Did the airbags go off?
