Possibly Breaking Moondust
Unfortuantely the misses had bit of a mishap when we had that snow/ice before christmas and has damaged passenger door and the front bumper has a small crack in it (although wasn't actually hit). Luckily nothing structural was hit/affected and still drives fine etc. It's at Ford's for a quote but i'm 99.9% sure it will be written off.
Now i'm looking at buying it back of the insurance company and if I do I might break it which is a HUGE shame as only needs door and bumper but I would rather that than it go to a crusher or left to rot somewhere, at least if I break it it will help another another FRST live on.
So if your after any parts let me know and i'll see if it's worth doing or not. Obviously the passenger door is a no no.
Pre accident pics can be found here standard-moondust-frst-vt180516/

Damage Pics
Door (still lines up fine)

Pic to show no stuctural damage

Bumper

Parts Available

Re: Possibly Breaking Moondust
why not just repair it at your cost? if they pay you out its a case of get a s/h door and bumper and have them painted and fit them job done..
you could then sell it on complete if you didnt wanna keep it

Hi , that would be great but i am in pretty desperate need for a boring diesel car to go to work in ( was lucky to be stay at home mum when i brought her ! ) and with the toddler aswell , so i just dont think time would be on our side to do that but hoping someone else can .

Trust me I would much rather someone brought it complete and restored her. BUT we were selling her because not practical for our family (our buggy won't even fit in the boot) so we need another 5 door. Now while she's been off the road i've had to pay for a run around and can't afford to get door and bumper and have them sprayed + I can't take the risk of doing so and no one want to buy because of it or offers silly money.(catch 22)
I have today picked her up form Ford's as they were going to send off to storage which would have meant she would have been piled onto the back of a truck with 10 other cars and most likely have been damaged in the process or had parts nicked while in storage.
