Anyway, from the pics u can see not as much panel damage as I expected, which surprised me, Most of the damage seems to have been done underneath. Notice the tail pipes have been pushed towards the bonnet by about 15cm.

His 97 Corolla had about 1/3 of his bonnet length crushed in.

It'll be interesting to see how much damage and how well it is repaired.
I'm worried that it'll never be the same again.
Am thinking of having a 3rd party inspect the repairs once I get it back to check it all out. And of course, I'll be taking it for a good workout to make sure it handles and feels the same.
