Cheers guys.
I want to say a big thanks to Steve (SDMC001) and Ian (merlinman). We checked the damage. The lower chassis rail has moved But not a big job to repair so Ian tells me! Front area that front section hooks on to has moved. Again Ian says but a big job. Reweld soome of the joins to just to be on the safe side.
Car is now back on it's wheels and pointing straight! Parts I need are top and bottom wishbones for the rear (borrowed Ian's lower wishbone) to get her back on her wheels. Front and rear uprights. Front ball joint. And new bonnet and spoiler.
So hopefully not too much of a job to get her back on the road.
Steve took me for a ride in his 5EXI today. Lovely job Steve. A bit of a psychological thing for me but drove past the crash scene in another 5EXI. Steve offered my a drive. Thanks Steve. But again a psychological thing, only one Marlin I want to drive past the crash scene.
Hopefully see you soon at a meet and shake all your hands for your support.
