Golf gets top marks for furthest away from the road.
Ninja Clio in the bushes wins on Ninja-ness.
Other Clio wins on managing to face the wrong way.
That picture is full of win.
Sounds like the previous owner has binned the car and had the repair done cheap (2nd hand door suggests this, as well as the shoddy chassis repairs) and paid cash.
If insurance were involved and it had had a big enough shunt to do chassis damage it would be sent to recommended repairer and...
Ok, all this buggering around with your car aside, do you not acknowledge and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for the fact that you have tried to sell on or swap a buggered car to various forum members?
Or, in playschool language, OWN UP TO BEING CAUGHT RED HANDED TRYING TO CON PEOPLE!!!
What kind of chump puts up numerous threads on a Clio enthusiasts website about how potentially FUBAR their car is and then tries to sell that same car to the members of that website?
The problems you have encountered trying to pull off such a trick are as following:
A) People can read.

Yeah seems fair.
Badly sprained foot for a kick in the head. Only Ryan can't kick with a badly sprained foot so.......a kick in the head by James in his Timbs?

Bridging is what occurs when there is such a build up of materials i.e filler, basecoat, lacquer, that its starts to crack.
Usually what happens on poorly repaired (filled with filler) panels.
Our rate per hour is £38 on most makes.
It goes up for the likes of Lotus and Aston accordingly.
To pull out and make GOOD a repair like that i.e not have a panel full of filler that will no doubt bridge in a year or so, you'd end up with so much panel work that it would make more sense to...
Its something we would be able to do for sure but the labour and time involved would usually outstrip the cost of putting in a new quarter.
Definitely needs jacking out and then alot of tender loving panel beating.
Easily £800.
Remove all the rear quarter mouldings and glass (glass specialist charge), cut off the quarter, align and weld into position a new rear quarter, align and fit new tailgate, beat out and reshape O/s/r lamp panel, then paint the tailgate, paint the inner lamp panel, paint the...
As above.
I don't think JMS would touch it either. They'd probably diagnose the problem and cure it, but this dude seems to have the opposite of the Midas touch.....simply everything he touches turns to sh*t.
I wouldn't want the ineviatble come backs.
