No way, James. Parts can be salvaged (seats!!), but that thing is toast!

Actually, I guess before making that conclusion, someone needs to look at the frame. If it's not damaged, maybe this can be fixed.

It won't be cheap.

The passenger side front suspension mount has definitely moved, you can see where is has kinked the bodywork just at the top of the wheel arch ..... so I would say there is certainly structural damage to the front passenger side .... which to me says write off !!

I think he would prefer it to be written off anyway .....
