edited to say £1300 would be a bargain but i think £13,000 is what i mean to say!

i think that cars been up for sale about six months now

Expensive to put right properly I would have thought...

Looks like grafting on a front end up to the top of the wheel arch, plus the rear end as well, labour, preparation, respray (ideally might as well go complete to get a perfect result)

Would also want the chassis, wishbones thoroughly checked out.

I don't know cost but would not bet on anything short of 6k probably much more.

What year did they start using the T5 box with the 500s? And what was wrong with the box they were using before? Just not up to the job?

[jigs]

Sometime in 1995 the changeover from Rover to T5 took place. Nothing wrong with Rover box just that supplies were drying up apparently. T5 is supposed to be stronger though.

mines a '94 with T5 box.

supposed to be stronger. i'd always go for Borg Warner ahead of Rover!

[julianhj]

Mine's a December '94 build with a T5.

Aren't T5's used in a whole host of different cars, and meant to be capable of coping with ridiculously high power outputs?
