This model came out pretty good, at least the people I know who have owned them have kept them for quite a few years. It's a pity that over time it's not worth it to fix the damage caused by use when they still serve their basic purpose. But as you say, between insurance and MOT there comes a time when it becomes an unaffordable expense or a luxury. I sold my Citröen C3 for that reason, I was lucky to find a buyer who paid well for it.

For your first time repairing a car's bodywork, the result is more than good! You were lucky to find the exact paint as the original one, I thought that being an old model it would be almost impossible to find. I agree that a little more sanding would have given it a better finish, but I understand that if you start adding costs again it comes back to whether it's worth doing the work. I hope you keep it going for longer, you still have a few months ahead of you to decide what to do.
