Oh curse word, so sorry to see that damage, is it repairable, looks like the whole back end will need replacing?

Oh that is sickening.
Is the inner structure sound? The rear wings bolt on if I remember correctly

Well to add insult to injury, the insurer "forgot" to do the paperwork that classifies the car as "historic" so need to run around and do it now... |

Thanks guys!! On a good note, got the confirmation of historical car status on Friday. That'll help a lot with the negotiations with the insurance company.  And to keep me on my toes, I've found termites in the wooden squirting boards in the house |

Ok a small update. My mechanic was swamped with work so finally managed to find time to take the rear fender off and bumper...     Its pretty bad to be honest!!! The brown stuff on the inner fender is surface rust and dirt, which we will clean up anyway. Good news is he found a rear wing and door in baltic blue!!!! Rear bumper too. The door has a 3-hole hinge vs my two-hole. Is it just a case of punching out the pin and swapping the hinge plate which bolts to the body? Gonna get the estimate fired off at the assessor today as the drunken idiot accepted liability so we should be ready to rock soon. |

That could have been a lot worse. A good body shop should be able to straighten out most of that damage.
