Dear All, I have taken a picture to show the extent of the rear end damage on my L reg Monty. As you can see from the bumper line, the boot shut area has pushed in on the passenger side. This is causing the passenger side rear light unit to be crooked and the bootlid catches the rear quarter panel by abiut 2mm when it shuts. Has anybody attempted a body repair such as this? I'd like to hear from you if you have or if you have an ideas to straightening her out. Cheers guys.

Slide hammer and/or a big tree and some rope. Have someone watch...

a hydraulic pillar jack and a suitable length of 4 x 3 timber will soon have things straight again...

The damage really isn't that bad, it passed its MOT yesterday. But G24 BDG, if you're offering to come and do the work for me, feel free!
