Spot the difference:
I have decided to carry on with the thread that Scott started, it seems that the history of the car at least on SES stays in on place.
The written off blue car is now in my possession and I have already spent today fiddling with it and working out just how much of a war wound the accident left. I have also been deciding what I want to keep for myself and will be transferring parts to the black car over the next few weeks.
I plan on keeping the thread updated and will try taking photos as I go.
