Is this what you're hoping to put the 2.0 Sierra engine into?

Thing is, car damage always looks far worse than it really is, but I'd be concerned that the chassis is bent.

Is it recorded on V-Car? Just wondering if it's a category 'C' or 'D' car.

what do the categorys mean?

where can i find out about them?

Insurance write-off categorys:

A - Usually fire damaged (burnt-out), flood damaged, or severely damaged with no servicable parts.

B - Damaged beyond economical repair and/or severe structural damage.

C - Damaged, but repairable. Generally applied to older vehicles.

D - Slightly damaged sometimes stolen and found after claim has been paid or high cost of repair combined with difficulty obtaining new parts to enable a swift repair.

Hope this helps. I had to research this last Easter when I bought my Panda, because the HPI showed it to be a category 'D' car.

Valuation for: Fiat Cinquecento Soleil 3d View Car Review Year / Reg Original Price A1 Good Fair Trade
1997 /P £7023 £1940 £1550 £765

do the math and u will see why it is only £300
there easily £300 worth of parts needed, bonnet, wing, bumper, inner wing and cross panels
plus labour
plus jigging
plus paint
looking at best part of a grand to fix up

also those roofs are a bitch if they go wrong...

by a sporting instead for between £1250 and £1500

Might make a good donor car. Wheels seem OK.

Just by going on looks, the third one don't seem too bad, although if that is the only damage on the last one, it shouldn't cost too much to get it straightened (£250-£300 London prices)

If you have a look you will find the other cars have all gone down in price . The car you wanted is now mine all for the grand total sum of £175 . Needs bonnet, wing, bumper, front lights, o/s/f wing , mirror and radiator.Priced up the parts MY labour (free) and paint .All for just under £500 Oh,no jigging at all.

looks like someone has summin against cinqs in a big way - is there a sei owner with a large sledgehammer and a grin anywhere?

eh.. no biggie..
