There's pictures of the damage here:

I will add more pictures and details later. Other than the damage, there is some slight rust on the driver door, some squealing from the rear dampers/springs, the wiring loom to the hatch has worn through so I've cut the wires and isolated them (no third brake light and rear wiper) and I never managed to figure out how to work the roller cover spring. The main thing though, is that there is a slight rattle when the engine gets to running temperature. Two mechanics have heard it and one said it's the throttle bearing, the other that it's the clutch release bearing.
Everything else works as advertised when new. Going over the above list, that means the doors open and the steering wheel steers. But there ya go.
I'd really prefer if someone took the whole car off my hands, as I have little time and no covered private space to take it apart.
Thank you for the sympathy vote, much appreciated.
, let me know how they get on with it and weather they made it home safely
