cheers for the extra info skull.
just to add a little about the checks on Cat C write offs.
i have sold some of the parts from my Cat D donor to a mechanic who told me that not all Cat C cars need to be checked by a testing station. he usually phones DVLA and gives the registration of the car and they tell him if it needs checking which he said that it was usually only one in three that required the inspection.
that makes the market a little more open for us kit builders if we can find out beforehand if the car would require an inspection..
and yes a good idea to take pics of the donors car damage to prospective buyers which i already have lots
