Genuinely gutted about this... Coming home friday evening came round a corner going fairly well to a deer stood in the middle of the road, locked up and met a pole
Cars pretty well fcked - going to start stripping for bits if anybody wants anything. Think I'm going to keep the engine and other bits and on the lookout for another Ph1.
Im sorry!

Should've avoided both tbh, Deers do make a hell of a mess, deer hits aren't uncommon round here, usually write off the cars!

At least your OK
That looks very repairable, doesn't look like there will be any chassis leg damage and it'll just be the front lower cross member that needs straightening or a replacement welding in. Everything else there is swapable with a 10mm, 13mm and a couple of torx bits.

Yeah I probably should've hit the deer but I'm not the best at making decisions at the best of times! The telegraph poles fine... made it sway a bit mind.
Not too keen on the PH3's even if they do have ABS haha, I'm on the lookout for another PH1 - It's pulled each wing, drivers side slightly more so I'm guessing the chassis probably has been damaged... could well be repairable but its time I dont really have. Engines going to be coming out so I've got a spare/one to build up. Still cant believe I've done it though!

Hitting the deer would of been a bad move. They are bloody heavy things, make a lot of mess and its not uncommon that when they are hit at speed they end up on the bonnet...and then through the windscreen.
