Bad luck mate. That's really unfortunate.
Has the goose who bent it fixed you up money wise? Has he offered to help with the reshelling?

Bugger, Looks like most of the parts are still useable, so I guess your on the lookout for another shell.

Hey guys I know its been a while but theres some things that you really dont want to do...and thats take your crashed race car out of the trailer and take photos of it and chuck them on the web for all to see.
Anyway by popular demand here it is it all its former glory.

Front shot

Open in new window


Roof shot...here the car was flipped and upon impact pushed the bottom of the cage through the floor and in turn buckeld the chassis.

Open in new window


As the car was launched off the ripple strip, it landed on this side then rolled onto the roof. Lucky there was a window net otherwise the driver may have lost a limb or hit his head on the ashphalt...



Open in new window


Here is the last shot where the body is twisted rendering it unfixable within the cost contraints of reshelling the car.
By the way once stripped the shell is free to anyone out there who thinks they may have some use for it....

Open in new window
