Dunno, it looks pretty wonky. If the inner wings are bent they could be a bit tricky/expensive to find.

Ah true, from the pics it looks like a little ding but worth the starting bid of 150 nicker

Id guess the owner has blown the engine and then kicked the snot out of it in a temper lol


Doesnt specify whether it runs or not either :p

When the insurance company estimates repair costs it's priced using new genuine parts and proper labour rates,
