Here are the daylight pics of my poor surf with a sore backside!!!!!
Can anyone say whether its likely to be able to be fixed??????
cheers Mik
Mike , sorry but I still say its a goner . It can be fixed but it would exceed the value of the vehicle . You would not be happy driving that again , you would always be thinking about the repairs and is the vehicle the same as before .

Sorry to see your Surf in such a state- but the pictures reveal something intersting to other Surfers- the chrome bumper have started to rust from the inside out.
Reminder to everyone who hasn't done this already- drop the bumpers off, rust treat, then paint and/or Waxoyle them. Otherwise in a year or three of British Salted Roads we'll all have bumpers like Swiss cheese......

Mine dont have time to go rusty - i just dent them every year and have to buy new ones
Mike - real shame about the truck... she loos like she was a beauty - worth trying to get her for salvage though!
As said check with your insurance as it is a not your fault
claim you should get a replacement vehicle or to able to hire
a vehicle against her insurance company.
It wont be like for like but its a set of wheels in the meantime.
Thanks to all for advice and concern ., Insurance company has sorted me a car out. Now dont any of you laugh im stressed enough already. After going from a beast of a car 3.0L limited surf to yes you have guessed it a nissan micra and thats not the best bit.Its even a automatic woohoo ill really feel at home. Looks like i wont be doing much driving over xmas. Perfect for me to drink more beer woohoo!!!!!!
I think ill start stripping a few bits off the car
I have a load cover Im gonna try and swop the allows if anyone is interested. Im gonna take out me 12cd multichanger and sterio I have a rubber boot mat. And I have a momo steering wheel that is also coming out.
Ill have to wait and see what the garage says but i dont think ill want the car after this anyway.
tell em to poke the micra! the insurance is supposed to leave you no better and no worse off than before the accident, starting from the accident. tell them to find you a car of a similar type. you cant be too fussy, so you might get stuck with a range rover or disco3, but a micra is taking the mick, mick. tell em about all the stuff you need to move...and how much damage that will do to their micra...
I can see why you're gutted mate, thats a nice Surf. I have the use of the company vehicle any time, If only you were local, you could use mine, as it sits on the drive all week and has the occasional outing to the shops on the weekend. Hope you get sorted soon.
mike how much for the wheels im interested...
and i'll give you a couple of quid for the zonda in your pik if its for sale, PM me if you prefer for price of wheels
