It is worth at best say £75.00, so why are we discussing this issue? Comments like "i'm not scrapping it whatever happens" fill me with horror as it smacks of money comes first regardless of the consequences

A pro panel beaters point of view.
95% of cars with that sort of damage do not get jigged under the insurance companies.
a look around the shell will show if the shell is distorted, the shell can be checked by doing a drop check (string, chalk, plumbob and a spirit level.)
the floor mount is not important as the bulkhead crossmember is the important place for mounting the subframe in the correct place, the floor can be replaced or knocked back into place, the old style jig brackets never had any for the floor mounts, the main body jig brackets were the rear boot floor, the rear front subframe mounts and the cross member.
