Just about to answer this James
thanks buddy, just about to answer the damage Q
Door cars are present and mint
disposable income + storage x enthusiasm = Collector , this is the calculation that has caused the issue Nic, dont worry, as the Mrs has a income drain planned in the future.
As for the Car, I hear what you are saying and also picked up on this recent shift in the classifieds, unfortunately for this car, the Cat C will stand out (negatively) when compared to such examples as Havard etc..

The problem I have with charging on with the project is the Mrs, I must admit I have got a little carried away with my enthusiasm towards the Supra. Clearing space for a more focused ownership of the Supra, seems to be the best idea for the arrival of 2015.
The car is a Category C, so this was always my concern with getting her back into running/driving order, as the post repair value might be effected according to history. I will be releasing this car from my ownership, which ever option I go with, as I just don't have the need for another Sup, and my life/priority's will change, as the Mrs is demanding that we start a family this year coming .
The history with the car backs up the Mileage on the shell/engine, and the interior is the cleanest thing next to a brand new one, interior panels and carpets looking like they have barely seen any usage.
The damage is on the driver-side (offside), with the following damaged detailed:
- Wing damaged
- Front Bumper broken on off-side
- Headlight broken
- Offside inner wing creased
- Offside Chassis leg looks straight, but damaged on the underside of the leg, nothing overly exciting,
- Bonnet damaged on offside
- Airbox damaged from impact.
- SMIC damaged
Accident Occurred at low speeds so the chassis damage is minimal, I had an independent accident repair company take a look at this, they were very confident that the damage was indeed more superficial than structural, so a repair is a very real opportunity.
