Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It's in good running order with everything working well and sits on a 2000 mile old mo30 suspension kit so it's a tight as a drum to drive.
Leading evidence: 'Run order' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run order' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This is my new project car!
It's a 1998 C2 coupe tip with 90,000 miles and a good history.
It was bought by the previous owner in November last year and at the beginning of December he was nudged from behind whilst waiting in traffic damaging the rear bumper cover.
The upshot was that it was categorised as a cat n for minor cosmetic damage and as part of the payout he bought back the salvage and I have bought it from him.
It's in good running order with everything working well and sits on a 2000 mile old mo30 suspension kit so it's a tight as a drum to drive.
I am going to carry out a service and do the repairs and hopefully get the old girl gleaming.
The best part is that because it is still damaged I can document every part of the repair.
Not everyone likes a project but I love em. :thumbs:

:thumbs: Ade.
That car already looks far too nice to be considered 'a project' by your standards.
Is the plan to make it 'pristine and standard' or are you going to go for mods. :?:
Either way, have fun. :thumb:
Cannot believe that was written off for that!
Actually I just looked up the price for a new PU
£1130 + VAT and then theres Porsche paintshop prices. But still.....surprised the seller didn't just fix it themselves.
Hopefully the metal bits and parts behind have escaped unscathed? I guess the assessor (if they even came out to look) was afraid of engine and metalwork damage.
Either way an eye on eBay and breakers for a PU in the right colour and you are laughing.
Ade - gotta ask - how much did you pay for her...??
Great project. I bet you can get a second hand bumper that you can paint for a fraction of that price youve been quoted

Interesting reading about the new categories:

Previous C / D was based purely on financials rather than level of damage. C being total claim exceeding the value of the car and D being claim exceeds certain % of the value of the car.
Now S refers to structural and N non structural damage which will give buyers much more piece of mind when the seller sys "it was just a bumper mate" and they see the N on the history.
With the rear pu removed it was clear that the damage was superficial with slight deformation of one bumper bar crush tube which did exactly what it should do and prevented any energy from being transferred to the chassis
