    Well first time I have seen the RS since they tried to steel it last weekend.
    I have bent the door frame back so it shuts and opens ok and the window can go up and down, but the door is still bent by the door handle so looks like it will need a new door some time this year but at the moment it is useable.
    Put my std fixed 1/4 window glass back in and pushed out the screwdriver dent in the nosecone as much as possible.
    Still have glass all over the inside but that will hover out over the next week.

    I also managed to start it and charge up the battery so the alarm works again .

    Will also have to touch up the paint work due to the screwdriver marks, just luckly for me the car needs a respray anyway so not to worried about that.

    Car is still in hiding until I beef up the garage but its all back together and works.

    The only thing is I have a brown wire under the dash which has been cut but for the life of me I can't find what it connects to, it comes out of the wire-loom and is just the right length to reach the back of the key barrel but there is nothing but a spare spade connector on that and everthing on the car works, any ideas!!!!
