Thanks to someone flying through a red today, my tin-top is now deceased.
donor time...
side impact
Thank feck for side impact bars, my missus and kids were in there, you can see where the bar stopped the other car, the door wasn't going to..
Anyway, I now have a 2l blacktop to go in the locost instead of the 1.8 silvertop that's in there now 
Anyone have a cheap tintop (pref diesel) in the Yorkshire area ?
Won't it polish out?

hope your family is all ok!
Deceased? Just a wee bruise, ya big Jessy! Didn't even break the window! 
New door from a breakers and she'll be right as rain.
Or are the pillars and floor munted? Or was the car worth so little it was cheaper for the insurance company to right it off than fix it? Talk about
a throw away society!
But, it shows how much safer cars have got in the last 15 years.
That's how I used to buy them. Get a door from the scrapyard, cut the bent sill out, straighten the floor and pillar if they need it and weld a
piece of sill back in. The bit my wife always hated was driving round with a different coloured door and sill for months till I got round to painting
it

Proper fella, Even puts the family in danger to get a better engine!!!!
Only a broken door isn't the real reason, you only want that engine!
I hope your fine?
Hacksaw through the A pillar, push it back out with a scissor jack and some 3x2 then weld the cut, the wing will fill.
