+1 to above

or do a widebody...

You would only then need to really get the pillars fixed and the roof, which is a replaceable skin.. you could always replace it with a carbon panel...

The widebody will come with front fenders and rear fenders which would hide most of the damage... Get new boot and rear bonnent.. paint job done..

I'd be tempted to put into a GC8 myself.

My thoughts exactly at the moment... whether this can all be done for 20k not sure as yet as the quote to get it fixed back to standard was 20k, but that was of course an 'insurance quote' im sure a custom shop could do it cheaper.
