Default Breaking: 2004 v40 1.8 sport

Bought this in November to break but my mate decided it'd make a nice daily for his missus after repairs so he bought it off me. Turns out no one within 50 miles will repair a bent A pillar and with only 2 weeks mot left, it's not worth saving even though it drives mint so I've got it back to break. I did over 80 miles in it today around the local area trying to find a bodyshop to do the work.

77K miles
1.8 volvo engine.

Arcadia's with 3 good tyres (one has cuts to the edge from the rear arch) - £200 collected or £250 delivered
Full beige leather interior including door cars, centre console and seats (minus cyborg trims) £15 YES £15
Cyborg trims (unmarked) £30 delivered
Eggcrate grill not broken £45
Headlights £65 delivered the pair
Indicators £25 delivered the pair
Full set of clear bumper markers (ones brand new) £30 delivered
Splitter £55 delivered
Rear spoiler £35 delivered
Cem £30 delivered
Heater panel £23 delivered
Hazard switch £8 delivered
Full cruise control kit £40 delivered

Everything must go. This car will be getting scrapped next weekend as I don't have room to break it but needs must!

Get your requests in.

Its a good 3-4 inches pushed inwards in a < shape that's bent the whole A pillar rigt up the screen and broken the screen. On the face of it, it looks saveable but that needs a proper electronic jig or new A pillar and the only two companies which can do it locally aren't interested.

Ive even hung new doors on it. The passenger front door doesn't open or shut very well because of the A pillar but the rear door is a perfect fit and a new wing bolted right on.

So we tried. It really is a ncie car and drives mint, Ive enjoyed bombing around locally in it but a car which is a Cat c write off and cant be repaired is no use to anyone.

All true have you thought about just cutting it out and welding a new straight pillar in once you sand the filler you will never know it had been repaired. Looks like a decent v40.
