The air con compressor is not salvageable as outer housing has sheared off at one of the bolts. I'm in luck it mounts to a separate bracket otherwise it could have been alternator or block damage also. It's also pinned in place by chassis leg so I cannot remove it from the car. It's literally floating in place as it needs to go down to be removed but is pinned and cannot go up due to bracket mounting.
I've got all the steering/suspension bits now. And a tyre to get the car rolling (thanks Ryan) but then realised i don't have a big enough wrench etc to take the wheel off. (more tools lol)
Had someone from a local body-shop come over this week and discuss the repair and quote. Turns out it's cheaper and easier to just replace the whole quarter. This way it will require less alignment. The downside to getting the car into the body-shop is that I need a fair amount of body parts to send with car for accurate alignment (initially thought I could have the leg repaired and phase the rest). Also engine will need to come out to give required access to weld so another additional cost.
