^^ Up to you to decide that mate

Well, first off i need to know how to get my hands on a door and back quarter. I can replace a door easy but the back quarter i wouldnt even know where to start. Might just sack if off.

Whats worth ripping out of the car and ebaying?

everything, strip it to a complete bare shell, weigh shell in and ebay all parts you took off.

So I settled, first offer (with some negotiation)... 1750 and bought it back for 9% (157).

Got 1600 to play with, im pretty sure i can repair it for less than that (new door / back quarter).

Its a Cat C so effectively I have a new project car I can do what I want with, pretty awesome!!

Anyone selling a blue door/back quarter?

I have the VT kit bit? Like the bit on the bottom? But its polar white, so would need a spray. But your welcome to it if you cover postage - might help you out?

Otherwise, you'll probably need to get the dent pulled out on that top bit of the rear quarter? Depends if you want to have a go yourself...

Take the rear door cards out, and have a look to see if you can see the dent from inside the car.

When you say VT kit bit, you mean the black, or in your case white, trim?

I've decided to have a go at it myself and see how mad it looks, replace the door and some guys from here have quoted about 200 quid labour to replace the back qtr.
