Finally what happend to this nice ride ? I have the same car but green and as far as styling is concerned this thread was very usefull, i ditched the ideea of going on the LC or LCR conversion.
Regarding the accident i don't know how things go around in UK but in my country it's manageable, replace the hood, front bumper, front fender and all the other bits and pieces (headlights, radiators, etc) and it's all good unless the frame it's damaged wich makes things a little bit more tricky.
