Well my poor little B has died.
I unfortunately crashed it into a kerb and railings on a roundabout and now it's a total write-off. I managed to walk away with few cuts and bruises, which was lucky really. Had the car of rolled, i could well be dead.
My Fiat mechanic says it's gonna cost at least £3k to fix, which is well beyond economical repair.
The year and a half I had with the car was amazing, and I would consider another, but for now there's just no money in the pot.
Damage includes ripped sub frame, broken steering rack, broken drive shaft. The engine itself has moved a little. That's not to mention ruined alloy wheels and panel damage. There's more too, but I kind of clicked off when my mechanic was reeling it all off to me on the phone.
So poor little thing is sitting at my mechanics garage for time being, but it's looking like it's gonna be scrapped. I reckon I'll only be able to keep it there for a few days, and I have no where to store it so soon it'll be at the fiat garage in the sky.
Will post pics at some point of the remains. If anyone wants any bits off it and they're not mashed up, feel free to ask and make offer etc'.
Car was only TPFT so any cash I can get back will be nice. If anyone knows what bits that are worth a few quid that I could eBay and/or store until people want them.
Unfortunately these things happen.
