No-one's got the hump - certainly not me - and we are 4 guys £200 each in total - £800 - we could break it for nearly that and get £100+ back on the road tax alone ! We'd written the investment off anyway just incase something like this happened. It's not some £10K totally sorted track car with hours of time spent in the garage. It was a bargain to buy, we spent £30 on getting it through the MOT to get it around and that's it. The lads wanted to go to the ring - they went and lost it - no biggee .... G - I think you're right - I don't think it'll be a lot to get straight again and at the end of the day - it might not look pretty, but it'll do exactly what we wanted it to do - get out and have some fun. |
Second thoughts - you may need to chop some of the wing off and weld anothr in BUT it doesn't need to be tidy, just functional.

No good mate but least everyone was ok and the car was still driveable as well as being possibly repairable/breakable:)

The 1200 was for damage to the armco apparently - clearing up the mess and towing them off.

Reckon half an hour with a lump hammer, new o/s/r light unit, take it to Powerflow to sort the exhaust. Might need a bit of a pull on the o/s/r quarter, but I'm sure you have a few big trees and a bit of chain laying about.
Weld down the rear hatch, added body stiffness and you are there. Sorted track car, look on the Ring as a shake down session!!!! ;););) |

Also - the other car's driver/owner would be - as you point out - well aware of the dangers and risks of taking a car on the track. |

Anyway - lets just wait and see what the prognosis is when they get back and get it looked at on the ramps. If they manage to drive it back and we're happy with the mechanicals, we can have a look at the bodywork issues and get them sorted for pennies. It'll be cheaper for them to sort it, than reimburse us with the investment so that's a positive. And - One of the group is - yes my good friends - a garage owner/mechanic .... ;) Sure we'll sort something out. |
Good planning there then!!!!
