I've still not had a chance to look over the car properly to find out just how bent it is, but from the drive home and the brief look I've had so far it seeems that it might be fixable. The developing plan involves something along the lines of straigtening out the wings/bonnet as far as possible, likewise the inner wing.
Hopefully the O/S chassis leg is not too out of shape, I hope that It might be able to be bent back.
I'm pretty certain that I'll be needing a front panel, slam panel and cross member - definately the cross bember - its quite clearly rustier than a rusty thing - and that was before the prang.
These front panels are on the bay, seems nice and cheap - they look to inclde the crossmember - do they? what about the slam panel?
I might well be needing to take up the kind offers of parts from gents on here shortly, just got to decide if I want to send as much less than a couple of hundred as I can getting this one back on the road - or a couple more on another car. What do you reckon?
