Missing some pics in the middle, i will post more once I get them off my mates phone (better pics). So here goes...

Not good............

Bumper has come off as has the bonnet. And then bits start coming out. Battery, tray, inlet, right hand wiring loom, downpipes, exhaust, gear linkage, radiator.....
