Hello and welcome.
I do not know the answer. It does seem you have two problems. Mechanical maintenance, and bodywork. They may need separate garages? Surely East London still has "small workshops"? Ask around.
More knowledgeable members might be better able to advise re the bodywork if you tell us what the damage is to the bodywork and perhaps post some pictures?
I hope you do not have to break the car.
And above all, all the best re your health.
