it was a Cat D already.
Some of the steering components had broken
Airbags set off
Drivers side had been smashed to fuck, I'd imagine it would of needed a new rear 1/4, new front wing, two new wheels, new windows for rear 1/4 and tailgate, tailgate needed repairs too, I think where the rear 1/4 and the boot meet the metal was split. Lots of stuff 
rear beam took a good whack too I think and may have been bent.

So you claiming off insurance then?

Obviously you bought it cheaply in the first place, so would you make your money back by breaking?
