Does the car still drive, does it go in a straight line?
Does the boot shut? boot still opens and shuts,
Does the drivers side passanger door function correctly?
Is there any distortion to the roof?not really looked at the roof to be honest as i didnt think there would be damage up there

The quote for repair would suggest the car needs jigging.

Have you actually bought it back from the insurance yet?

[ibrox_hunk]

it was pulling to the right slightly but the front tyres where low so i thought it might be something to do with that,

[wackyschild]

That looks serious, I hope those pictures are making it look worse than what it actually is

Looks pretty bad! The back end must have the strength of melted toffee now Seeing as its had at least 3 rear enders. I see the remnants of the tow bar are still there. Looks like a whole load of work to get it back on the road. Maybe its time to break it...........

it looks pretty bad might push out a bit but looks much worse than it did the last time, she must have hit it pretty hard

[ibrox_hunk]

first gear from stationary she told me, she was trying to reverse but never had the strenght to lift the gear stick into reverse only into first and wacked it, lol so not to hard? lol anyone in or near paisley thinks they could help/giveme an opinion of wether to break or repair i would be happy to hear/see. cheers

Well I'm nowhere near Paisley, but I'll tell you this much. The car appears cursed - and very weak at the rear after all those shunts. If all you can do is pull it straight again, the next time it gets hit from behind, I'd wager that it'll crumple all the way into the passenger area - and I wouldn't want anyone I cared about to be in there !

Sad ..... But ..... Got to be break it mate.

Should recoup most of the money spent if you break it though. Real shame though as it just doesn't seem to have much luck
