I bet he was more worried about the car than himself?

Shows a cage is a great idea, if you didn't think so already.

I lost my internal video during the crash, but Hamish's Dad was recording from outside. Not looked at his footage.

Young lad from JDM helped pull it out then we made an escape while we could! He's uploading videos now so will have to see.

looks like an easy repair judging by the fabrication work on this build...

Sucks, but could be much worse, and both of you are ok :thumb:

Feeling a little stiff today but a lot better than yesterday!

Hamish got the car home today and back into the garage. He started to strip it down to see what needs done. Its got away very lightly, a lot of cleaning is needed as all the fluids came out!

A lot of the dirt and dust was sucked in from the normal running not the crash.







Difuser got a little bent!



Dug all this and more out of the exhaust that it collected on its way into the field.



Splitter is gone and pushed in the wing / bumper mounting brackets



Engine bay after a hoover out and check over. Car fired up no problems and drove it back into the garage.



Door and roof damage



Started stipping the inside. He bent the steering shaft with his legs during the crash.



Windows taken out to have a look at the roof



Some pictures from a fella that came down to watch.



Hamish letting his old man get a drive, he must have sabotaged it!



Testing out the brakes and setting the balance



Bit of a drift off the top corner





Scrubbing the tyres in!



And finally where it ended up after we pushed it back over, took some pulling out!

Antnee I wish I had 1/100 of his skills. It's all his own work which makes the build even better IMO. I'm sure he'll have it back together soon.
