It's back up already. With regards the paint it looks to me like it had red first underneath white prime/filler, underneath the top coat. The "engine bay" paint is just the slam panel isn't it? You would blow that in during a colour change unless you were being spectacularly lazy!

I'm just suspicious of the way the paint has come off in lumps with flaky edges - factory applied paint doesn't tend to do that in my experience, but thickly applied resprays and spray filler do.

I'd love to take a look at it, but time is not on my side.

ETA: I note has tax and test, but if it is a Cat C it needs a VIC check doesn't it? Surely the test is no longer vaild?

Not a chance. By the time it's repaired you are probably into it for 12-13k, it's got a cat rating and high mileage as well. TBH, it doesn't look to have a lot going for it.

Don't worry about the mileage either its got at least another 30,000 miles of pleasure left in it if mines anything to go by.
