So here are the pics taken by the body shop. I make no apologies for the content..... they had free reign to take snaps as and when they could.
There are others so here is the link to that album.

You know that thing, 'Sods Law' Especially after getting an almost full respray...... Car was parked outside the young lads place and it was a bit blowy last night. Me and the missus were watching a bit of 'Merlin' on the iPad and around 1230 we heard a loud crash!
Ran outside and saw this
(Imagine it's pitch dark and hissing down with rain, wind blowing about 40 to 50 knots.
The Omega was parked in front of the white door of the garage, didn't escape completely unscathed though, a small branch did hit the roof at the rear and has left a couple of marks, hopefully they can be polished out. Couldn't take the chance that more wouldn't come down so moved her to a safer place. I would have been gutted if it had been badly damaged, I haven't told the insurance company yet about the respray so I would have only got 'market value' if it had been written off (probably) by the tree.
Anyhoo, the wind has died down and the sun has come out, time for a quick wash and brush up and photo opportunities somewhere in the Glens possibly.
I intend to take more pics of the repaired areas with explanation of work done cos they had to do a bit of welding as well as just paint prep.
