I finally got around to getting the bonnet off last weekend to take a proper look. The engine has been pushed back bending the mounting points on the chassis and the passenger side bay is twisted.

I won't be parting her out - I don't want a garage full of unwanted parts. Most likely I will be tracking down a rolling ED6 chassis with sunroof and a B20 block (B16A has popped a main seal in the crash) and doing a slow steady hybrid as a memorial.

Although, the little GTi I'm driving around at the moment is so much fun that I might put the complete EF9 up for sale - but with the 100% JDM interior an 90% exterior plus all running gear - the temptation is strong to make it a project.
