Looks like quite a bit of damage but it is fixable, won't your insurance company get it repaired?

sorry to hear what some little sh*ts have done but why not get it repaired or sell as a repairable project for someone as it would be a shame to see another transit scrapped

just bite your lip and fix it
it looks bad but if you sent couple of days on it
youd be back to graft
the beauty about a transit you can get the parts easy
show them your not beat :wink:

thats the sh*t of today for you :!: :!: :x :x :x :x
