Exactly the same as mine bar the bonnet and roll bar.
I got quoted £700 to do the jigging and spraying of the panels and repairing of the door etc. It cost me £400 for a new driveshaft, steering rack and 2 front shockers, wing, bumper and a few other bits and bobs.
If the leg has only been pushed back slightly, it should be OK. The rollbar is attached to the leg, if this moves it affects the geometry of the front wheel.
I asked the firm how much to jig, £300. Tis not too bad.

And heres a pic off it u can see the wheels a bit wonky.

The gearbox mount is on the inside of the leg. If the leg moves quite a bit, it affects the linkage and it's hard to get gears.
Can't tell by the angle of the pics, but it doesn't look too bad.

Just need a rough idea on how much it will cost to repair really,i dont care about the cosmetics really at the moment i just want it driveable,as my old mans complaining its in the way in the garage lol and i cant move it .. as for the cosmetics im looking at getting a bodykit and badboy bonnet and in no rush for that really,im just hoping it can be made drivable pretty cheap
