Maybe it's just me....
But that damage doesn't look very bad at all. It would be a real shame for a
syncro westy to be totalled as a result of this.
I'm sorry to hear about the accident and hope everyone's okay, and that you
get a good settlement from the insurance companie(s).

That outa buff out.
