The new car as of today, still some small things to do as we race this weekend, had to sand all the blue of as it was in prety rough shape before it could be repainted, The garage as a shade of blue on everything
as it was raining at the time and had to be done inside.
Had to sand the whole inside as well as it was a mess .
Using my colour coded bumpers as mey back one were destroyed.
This rollcage has 5 extra bars in it from the old car
Most things are a straight swap but there was still alot of work that had to be done
Won't have time to do a front splitter but that will happened after I come up with something that looks good.

After setting the 5th fastest time out of 17 and .300 of a second of the fastest time of the old car disaster.The al president of the club decided to punt the car up the arse and turn him around on the first corner leaving me no were to go which ended up bending both front chasis rails, end of season after getting to the top off the 1600cc championship to have it ruined by another idiot.

ffs, bad luck dude. any chance a front cut would fix it or is it to far gone?
HELLAGAY-buy some wheels that fit.
oh man...... no words...... no words at all........... i feel for you big time!
" Do not think yourself more clever than anybody else, for this will lead you into many a troublesome mistake."
Wow again , that sucks
Yer , can straighten the passengers rail but the drivers side will need a new one, I do have another wreck
to do a front cut just wasn't expecting it this early after building a new car. Will be done when I get around to it, over this motor
race marlarkey for now

Shit dude feel so bad for you! A small accident would be bad enough but something like that is just ridiculous. I can only imagine how you feel after all the time that youve spent on it.
Hope after a short break you can get back out there.
arrhggghhh you C!
BT was the other innocent and unfortunate party in this mele
Just robbed a koni and lower arm of my crx (bit dusty), see if we can get him going in the morning

Gutted for ya mate, looks like ud done an awesome job swapping everything too
EF9 Road car ......1:20.1 Manfield ..
EF9 Track car .... 1:16.9 Manfield ...
I know of a caged rolla in wellington that's parked in someones driveway that Ive never seen moved at all... Perhaps yet another shell if you are keen? I can drop a note off to them if you need to
Cheers but it is fixable, I would say that the drivers size shock tower has moved back about 5 to 10mm, so once thats pulled out
I will weld a new Chasiss rail on in front of this, pull the passengers rail strait and put it all together. Will be done slowly as I spent enough
rebuilding it from scratch a month ago.

My car's worse than expected, couple of ripples at the bottom of the right B pillar plus the right hand seat mounts have torn during impact.
At this stage looking at a right rear quarter replacement & paint, new trailing arm, new shock (MCA from Aussie).
Estimated cost for my car is $3000 to $3500, thanks Phil
Think I was bloody lucky to get back out Sunday, thanks to Ant, Rick and Mike.

Fark bad news alround!
I'd cringe to see how much 1 new shock is worth. Could be worth while sending him the old one to see what magic Murray can preform using bits of the old shock.
All the best getting it sorted guys.
Looks like they can repair it but the cost is still around the cost of a whole new set (4 corners) of other / another brand.

As expected unfortunatly - but man the shocks are awesome!
