    Yikes! That looks like a very pole-shaped or tree-shaped indentation on the front.

    Impressive. For all that front-end damage, the A-pillars aren't even slightly bent out of shape. This car really does appear to be a nice place to crash in.

    Please don't put more ideas in my head Metro I have some ideas for an engine gearbox swap from a quad bike it is a 500cc single cylinder overhead cam 4 valve with cvt trans

    Maybe buy the mirage engine and trans pull it apart and see what I can improve on it for power and economy.

    Cheers jamie

    Just do it Jamie, and be sure to post reports.

    With proclivities like that you could become an honorary Kiwi.

    Yes that's true, some more pics of the damage would be helpful.

    Why would you want to upload the pics of the damage? It's a selling/dismantling company do they have to show pics of the parts where people still can use instead of the damaged parts. You want to see crash pictures go to your local police station, I'm sure they have loads of them, ask if they have one from new Mirage or place order :-)
