I wonder what he did with the two thinner straps/supports, they appear to be knackered as he removes the old floor.

Can you get D2 xenon lights?

The D2 rear bumper is streets ahead of the D1 version imo, anyone know how much is involved in fitting one of those?

You've made the right decision. Better to shift it on for some cash than leave it sitting on your drive rotting away. When your finances improve buy yourself another one and enjoy it!

That amount of damage doesn't sound insurmountable, however, the insurance company are almost certain to write off the vehicle I would imagine - problem with buying it back and repairing it is that this marker/notification will stay with the disco for the rest of its life and render it next to...

Lookin good bud :)
