driver's pillar damaged in accident

[crmpicco]

Does anyone know if this can be repaired?

I had a shunt today in the fu**ing snow/ice and the rear end of my Pug 206 is now caved in. Unfortunately the pillar where the latch is also affected.

Is this repairable? Sorry, no pics as yet but will have some soon.

Cheers,
Picco

Of course its repairable, just depends on your budget for repairs

Have a garage check it at least to make sure its only cosmetic damage (panels etc) if its damaged some of the underlying frame/chassis you could have a hefty repair bill coming!

I take it the shunt was directly from behind?

Good grief. Hope you're ok.

If the collision was severe enogh to affect the structure as far forward as that I wouldn't use the car.

As Stubbs points out, anything is repairable, though whether the expense of a reshell or wholesale fitting of new panels while the car is jigged is a question of economics.

did someone shunt you up the jacksi? The usual presumption, though not set in stone, is that the driver of the rear car is at fault, so at least they'll likely be paying for it.
