Now I am not a Body Shop Expert but when you look at the damage it does not look so bad in the pictures but I guess you never know till the car is on the lift. Sometimes I really wonder if insurance companies total out cars too fast but than there is the customer that does not want a repaired car. I guess it is a catch 22and in the end we all pay more for insurance.

here is the link if you want to see the rest of the pictures.

Sad! That car got hit from the rear really hard....pushed it into the car in front of it too. The ripple in the quarter panel is as bad sign. I'd say the car is toast, sadly. Good for parts I suppose. I've restored cars with some bad damage but they were vintage & desirable cars. This car is not that high on the collectability scale. A shame really.....was a nice MINI.

I'd be willing to bet the rear floor is buckled. Better the floor be buckled then your neck

I agree Peter. Any collision foam in the sides is shot as well.

This would make a good shop car. Put it on a rack pull the floor and rear uni body. Lengthen the rear uni body to accommodate a wood pickup bed.

Peter, that was my 1st thought too make a pick up out of it. For the $$ this one would make a great Hauler for the Hounds Beer Home Depo runs and on the weekend you still can put it in a car show and let people see something different.

Does look like its been an a pretty extensive pile up... Not good, just hope the owners got out without any significant damage!

That is a sight nobody wants to see

I would stay away from this car especially for the fact that it comes from "getwwa", they alway do a "little" make up using zip ties to their car so it seams that the damage is not so bad but once you remove the bumpers...surprise
