   Try and fix it mate. I was going to with my old car but the chassis legs were damaged so that was a no go.

   any car is fixable depends on how deep your pockets go, when i wrote my car of it pushed the suspension leg back and luckly enough i had a mate that owened a jig so got it all pulled out and drives perfect now, i would say it is fixable just get all the parts in the right colour mate

   can see from the photos that both legs have pulled in, either get them jacked back out and pulled straight or break it

    If you went through the insurance that would definately be a write off.

    Got to agree with paul as saxos dont fetch a lot of money and the insurance company wouldnt want to fix it. Get it written off and buy it back to fix it, parts for saxos are cheap and easy to come by some with a bit of know how the car could be up and going again and may even yeild you a couple of quid for your troubles.

    Cost more in the long run making the claim. Think I'll try to fix it rather myself. Don't want to loose my no claims etc.

    That gives me hope tim thanks. Shell will just be too much time and effort to swap an engine over and all that. Atleast with my car I know what I've got already.
