Ok for you lot that are curious on my progress, my trailer board hadn’t arrived today so at least one more day here, probably good because I want to try and get my high level lights working together with the board,
So I’m still tidying her up some more so bare that in mind, first pic is the worse side,then rear then near side, I have driven her around the yard and that’s fine, but obviously the true test will be on the road,
And yes I will refit the O/S lights and probably get them working although all the wiring was ripped out of there connectors.
And on a positive note today was a glorious one, wall to wall sunshine and 20C had to shed clothes to keep working,

 

[Landy Andy]

Looking good.

Seen worse arriving on some Aires

 

[Nanniemate]

That's impressive

Excellent work! I'd have no problems driving it home.

 

[Grianan]

I’m super impressed. Had just been showing my son the ‘before’ pictures … you’ve done an amazing job!

 

[nicholsong]

Have a Gold Medal !

 

[Googlebot]

I am also impressed. I might need more tools to take than I do though.

 

[DavidG58]

We had much more minor repairs carried out last year by DMR , talking to them about costs and write off options , they said he estimated our MH at £40K+ and said that Avjva would probably have spent up to £35K to repair rather than write off which I was surprised at

Excellent job done albeit lengthy due to parts

Very best of luck for your journey home then getting sorted, very impressed at the improved look

To be honest I did buy some tools, normally my missus complains if I buy them at home, always telling me I have too many, this time she brought them for me result because I believe you cannot have enough tools

Becareful, they job your doing the insurance company may say
'Jolly good carry on, we'll pay for the bits'

 

[Al n Val]

Well I didn’t expect that

you’ve done an excellent job there, have you thought about carrying on with your trip?

 

[EuroTrotters]

I have been watching and reading this post for a few days.

Whilst I feel sad for you, I am very glad to hear you are okay !

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

An excellent job, well done. Seen much worse on the road. It will be ok on the Spanish and French roads. It's uk roads you have to worry about .
But make sure you don't hit the speed bumps too fast.
Your insurance company may say " what damage"

[Brains]

Blimey!
I'm super impressed with your bodgery at fixing that up, very impressive.
It looks at though it gone from 'write off' to 'minor shunt'.
I love the weatherboarding rear end, it's probably better than the original !

Your MoHo now would not be out of place on any travellers site!
Have you thought about upgrading the leather dog leash to a bit of string ?

 

[Ducatian]

Here you are meant to fill in a "european accident report form" . . . .
https://www.allianz.co.uk/content/d.../support/european-accident-statement-form.pdf

Item 7 askes you for the Date you Passed your Driving Test! I'd fail on that!

 

[Puddleduck]

Item 7 askes you for the Date you Passed your Driving Test! I'd fail on that!

It might be on your driving licence.

I passed mine in August 1976

 

[JockandRita]

Excellent work! I'd have no problems driving it home.

Same here, none whatsoever ivorantony.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[lorger]

Well done, you’ve done a cracking job and should get you home no problem.

Looks like you have made a good job of the temporary repairs, I just hope that it dosen't come back to bite you when it comes around to sorting out the insurance.

 

[Tonks]

To be honest I did buy some tools, normally my missus complains if I buy them at home, always telling me I have too many, this time she brought them for me result because I believe you cannot have enough tools

Bit of a drastic way to get 'em though!

 

[Debs]

What a great job so far

 

[Carpmart]

Great work…. A bit of T cut and you’re about done!

 

[Just smiffy]

I’d think about not taking 7 crates of wine back in the garage this time though…

Well done an excellent job..

Great job. I can see the insurance man coming out and saying…… nothing wrong with that we will pay for the paintwork to be done.

Great job. I can see the insurance man coming out and saying…… nothing wrong with that we will pay for the paintwork to be done.

I had every confidence in you from the start, After many years in the motor trade doing car body repairs myself I would have done the same thing, It's amazing what you can do with a good stout hammer, tyre lever, a bottle jack with a selection of blocks of wood and a tool box with sundry items, all of which I strangely carry with me.
What would the insurance company say if you provided a few pics and asked if you could carry on with your holiday.
Second thoughts I think I would tell them you were suffering from shock and need 5 weeks at least to recover before your are up to discussing the subject any more !!!!???? All the best to you both, Bruce
P,S, I forgot the duck tape. Post meant for op.

 

[ivorantony]

For anyone interested we are now in Zaragoza slowly heading back home,
