    Can't really tell how badly buckled it is from those pics ....the top section looks like it has been bent rather than heat distortion .

    £5 and I’d have a go £150 is a pee take!

    Fairly expensive but would be worth trying to rescue it, suspect the top frame is buckled with heat, lower half still looks the right shape, no filler or old repairs visible.
    Open negotiaitions.

    Isn't the whole thing warped? Look at the curvy bottom edge.

    Agreed.

    Looks like scrap only to me.

    It’s scrap bin fodder. The heat will have buckled it so much it would take a ton of filler to make it look anything like acceptable. You will be able to find much better than that for £150

  9. ^all of the above. It's buckled with heat. Offer a tenner for it. £150 is just taking the pee.

    Thanks for all the replies.I think I will definitely pass on this one as the more I look at it the wonkier it gets .

  12. Yes, I would say so. But unless it’s the last one on earth I wouldn’t try to fix it even if it were free.
