Ibiza Ecomotive - Scrap or Save? I say Save!

Hello all,
My beloved Ibiza decided to kiss the back of a indecisive vehicle on an icy junction one evening a couple of weeks ago.
ABS tried to save me... But made it slip worse to be honest. But after 25 years of no claims it was a good run.
Due to the new exhaust and tyres I decided to buy it back from my insurance company
The Ibiza looks terrible compared to the car it bumped, a broken reg plate light an a couple of scratches on their bumper....

The lure of no road tax and sipping fuel makes me want to save it.
Although it looks terrible it drives fine. Crumple zone did it's bit.

So if anyone has any spare parts or advice chime in. I hate scrapping cars for the sake of it and it's only a Cat N. Plus I have a soft spot for this little diesel 😭

It may be time for a Ibiza Harlequin Edition 😀

Not much progress but decided to remove the broken bits off the car today.
It is crackers that it still drives fine. That crash bar did its job.
Again if anyone has some spares DM me.

Thank you for the kind words.

Bit of an update...

I have been looking for a donor car but everything I find is the other side of the country.
So with a heavy heart I started listing parts on eBay. I'm not sure of the rules on here but if anyone is stuck for parts PM me.
I will have the car for a couple more weeks till the shell is scrapped.

Gutted :no:
