You are right its a bit of a bump. I did notice the spot welds as mentioned above, and that is the damaged section. car is straight with no sign of warping or chassis creasing. Thinking i'm going to have a go at hunting around for a confident welder and then source some bits.. Failing that i guess it will have to go.

lol .... fair play. But considering its costing me nothing and and the nostalgia i would like to give it a chance. The insurance is so low and its a good runner to. any body known similar to be repaired? as mentioned i am willing to spend a couple hundred to spend on a repair and have access trailer to get it around. did feel a bit gutted today as i couldn't get good enough purchase on the spare wheel to remove the speedline spare. as before any advice welcome. Cheers Dan.

So i finally got some pictures today a bit closer of the damage but i was unable to release the boot to get better photos. Long and short is that id love to have this as a fun little run around, But a local garage wanted £1500 - £2000 to chop out the damaged wheel well and replace with toyota bits.... As mentioned i dont really want to have this go to the scrap yard, so would really appriciate any feed back.. I have time and money to put in to it but dont want it turning into a pit. Cheers Dan.

Is this for grabs still?

Thanks Ill wait for a pic. cheers. Im still waiting for a decent boot lid at the mo. Looking around id rather replace with either an sr or glanza boot and inc spoiler. Ill be willing to repaint.

bit far for me mate. send me a pic if your willing to post to Guildford area? cheers

Again thanks for the help, good advice. Lets hope i can save it. Ill post an update soon...

Just to mention a N/S/R light. and colour of boot/bumper isn't a problem. Cheers

Hi Just been given a '98 SR. Ive known the car for years and don't want it to see it go to the breakers. Im in the Surrey/Hampshire area and i'm willing to travel collect (with cash) any parts worth while. From the picture below its clear a rear boot and bumper is a given. Saying that if any one anything they think i might need please say. Email is danwestwood@live.co.uk or PM on here. Thanks.

Thanks all the advice everyone. As mentioned ill be getting under it on friday to make a final decision. Sorry but just to clarify i need to get an MOT before the VIC test? Ill get posting in the wanted section, but as mentioned above please feel free to message me with any parts you might have. Cheers

Haven't had it in the air yet so unsure on wether the chassis has creased or not... but i my friend said he doesn't think the boot will shut if its opened. i have a bit of cash to put into it but dont want a money pit on my hands. I will be getting the car on a ramp on friday and will know the extent then hopefully... I did read that a VIC test is around £40 - £50 ?

Hi guys, I'm new to the site and live in the Guildford area. I recently got given a little 1998 Sr from a friend who's moved up to London. It has pretty low mileage and I'm in need of a little run about. As you can see from the pictures it has had a shunt from behind, the insurance paid him out and its a cat C. Considering it hasn't cost me anything I don't want to see it go to the scrap yard i'm looking at seeing if its worth putting it through a VIC test and sourcing replacement bumper and boot lid. Please if you have any advice as to how a VIC test works or if any one has any bits for sale please pm me or email danwestwood@live.co.uk
