Not all the metal in a Lynx is armour plate. There are the mud guards, lockers, many brackets, the under engine belly plates and the radiator grill, and a few other thin bits.
I was lucky as when I located the hull at Charlies, the side lockers and mudguards were almost undamaged as you can see in these two photos.
The full width front locker was still attached but had seen better days.
The mudguards were basically straight but would take quite a bit of panel beating to make them good enough.
No, that is not a dent or bend in this left side rear mudguard. It is the factory made clearance for the muffler which is seen on both the left and right guards.
