As ive had an accident i think my car will become a write off, if it does then ive got two options, fix it or re-shell it.

As far as i can think at the mo it would be wiser to find a shell and trasfer everything over from my car to another shell, what do you think?
It would be a MK2 shell.
Things i can think to transfer is,
Windows
Tail gate
Doors
custom interior
digi dash
engine
suspension
brakes
rear bumper
seats

Cant think of nething else.

Plus i could get new shell's engine bay welded and engine bay sorted this time.
So i could seriously start with new project from scratch....

Just not sure what i should do tho :s

Yes, like applying the brake pedal when a car pulls out in front of you :wink:

And the 2 meter skid marks by me didnt prove that, looking back at it all i think i may have stopped just as she hit me, but like at exaclty the same time.
