Default Help save 850GLE from being scrapped!

Hi

Our son recently wrote off his 2.0 850 GLE estate by rear ending someone who was playing silly buggers and braked for no reason. He was able to drive the car home so it still runs and steers fine but as you can see from the pics it will need some work doing to make it a decent runner again.

Looking for £200 which is what the insurance have offered to scrap it but its too good to scrap so does anyone want to save it and break it for parts? We dont have the space and are looking to at least match the offer from the insurance. Classed as Cat C write off, damage to:
Bonnet
Wings
Bumper
Radiator
Grill
Head lights
Both front doors click/clink when opening so maybe damage to 'A' post perhaps?
N/S wing mirror taped on (had a close shave with a wall and clipped the wing mirror)



Car is a silver 850 GLE on an M plate 95 model
207000 miles
New rear Nivomat (air sus) shocks and springs
New battery (RAC)
New alternator
Full service at beginning of the year
New pcv valve
New piping
New coil pack, leads, plugs and distributer

Would like it gone asap if poss as son needs to sort out another vehicle.

Car is located in St Albans Hertfordshire, any questions feel free to ask, thanks.
Peter
