im thinking of doing a tech article on repairing arches and other rusty patches, but im not sure how many people would want me to do this, if there is any interest then il do one in the next few week if the weather is right.

well the reason it was in the scrappys is viewable in the picture below

so as you can see, a very simple repair, and yep the car has a digi dash, which is damn hard to see when its sunny outside

insurers will have written the car off and rarely you can buy them back. Insurers are just registering stuff liek that as catB/C just to be dickheads.
