    Bad morning - help required

    So this morning I had our hot water fail. No shower and upset I went to work.

    Then on the way to work some panel beating occurred.



    So I am wondering who has a spare headlight lying around so at least I am legal again.

    The rest of the damage, well, we will have to see how the other half feels about me when I get home as to if I get to keep the car or I get told to get rid of it.

    Not a great start to the year...

    Sorry to hear about this.

    by the looks of it, a new bonet, grill, fender and light, with a little bit of a pull, and it'll be back to how it was.

    Ouch!! Those damn MK1 brakes, huh? I was able to source a brand new headlight a while back easily and for not too much $$. So that's an option if no one has a spare.

    Looking at it, I think it has more of a boser feel to it now...

    The outside ones are the same AFAIK - I will confirm - thanks for the offer - feeling so much less anxious now as to before.
