Unfortunately Karen had an accident in her car this morning.

I am obviously peed off, but she is fine, which is the important thing.

It's not written off but it will take a bit for me to fix. Another bonnet for one thing.

The deer is not so well. Dead in fact.

I have just started a new job abroad too so the chances of fixing it within the next year are pretty low!!!

Pictures attached.

Jings Frazer that's horrendous; primarily though Karen is ok if not a bit shaken...

I'm sure I've seen bonnets on ebay recently, based in Europe, but sadly not in yellow - would you consider fibreglass assuming there'll be insurance cover?

Any a pillar damage?

There is only 3rd party insurance in Bulgaria if a car is more than 10 years old.

I do have parts such as fog light, headlight and bumper, but no bonnet.
I should be able to get a 2nd hand bonnet in Bulgaria (Hopefully).

As I am not at home I am not sure of the damage behind the bumper, but I think it should be OK. The only question is the chassis rail.
Karen did drive the car home and said that other than a coolant leak it was OK. So, hopefully no major issues.

Probably need a radiator and maybe A/C condenser (again).

No damage behind the wheel, so not too bad. Looks bad though. I guess hitting something more immovable would have caused more serious damage, but being a deer it SHOULD be more superficial. Fingers crossed.

We will see, but should be fixable once I can get to have a close look. Probably won't be till November sometime.
At least I can make a project thread!!!
