Ouch! impact even broke the lid of the washer bottle. You'll need a BIG bottle of T-cut for that one
tree plus winch.. you will be amazed how well it would pull that back into shape 
Someone already overpolished the offside head lamp.
Got a picture with the bonnet down?

Yep, @andyholli and his Snatch panda went through exact same way.

It's actually not as bad as it looks, the inner wing is untouched as is the rad. So a bit of pulling and a new light, grill and bonnet and should be all good. The damage is the reason I'm able to get it for a reasonable price so all in all I'm happy, just need to locate a towing bar and hope to have it home today or tomorrow

Ooh it's Buff but in better condition! And do you get a free leaf spring made of unobtanium? Sounds like a fair deal to me. If you need any structural bits Jamie let me know as I still have the dead one...

Ooh love the decals!
What do you recon, polish or big hammers
Doesn't even need a polish that - it's just characterful patina.

Thanks man, really kind of you to offer. I'm hoping at the moment I might be able to get away without to much structural work but time will tell and I'll be sure to let you know if I need anything

No probs at all. When are you taking delivery?
Buff's days are numbered, his date with the crusher is ever looming

It arrived this afternoon :slayer: the seller needed to clear the space so he arranged (and paid for
) a recovery truck to get it to me rather than wait for me or him to find a towing bar and do it ourselves. I've got to say I'm really impressed with it underneath. When I viewed it yesterday I could feel a few crusty areas at the back both sides and a little on the near side front but it wasn't possible to get a proper look. Having it here I can see that it seems minimal (about 3inch split) and the rest of the underside and arches, jacking points etc are all superb. It's been a well looked after car before it sat for a year!

Except for spots of what I assume to be blood?

Yep, I asked the seller if he'd lower the price, he refused so I bludgeoned him to death. And if it wasn't for you pesky kids I'd have gotten away with it :devil:

Ahh yes I know it well, we in the 'E' reg 4x4-ownership-brotherhood call it "Tan Tweed", it's a fairly exclusive group you know
