Jeepers!

So glad to here you and Holly made it out ok

The car looks like you did a proper job on it just wish you could find the numpty who put you there .

As John has stated, and with some great driving skills and razor sharp reflexes it looks like you managed to miss the fuel filler door

Holly is not looking to pleased in the picture or is she just tired from a hard days work.

You and Kit have certainly cracked on stripping the car, remind me never to leave my car anywhere near you 2

Good luck with everything Charlie

John

Getting lighter! Cheers for your help today Kit.


The wheels on the other side are both facing straight forward


Kit wrestled the driver's seat out today, I thought the seating position was a little strange






This is the bump stop at the front of the engine that sustained a little tap...


...and just fell off


This resulted in the pistons having a little argument with the inlet valves


Which are now bent, as Kit predicted


Looks like we'll have to stick them on the bench and hit them with a hammer until they look straight.


edit: Oh yeah, and asking Kit to ask me to hold parts for you isn't going to work. If and when I feel like selling anything I will announce it in the "Parts for sale" section.

I feel really sick bro glad you and the dog walked away from it to fight another day, sad times indeed

[vonbeck]

Get some old steelis for the wheels too

sent from my not so smart phone

[John.]

I see it now....the undamaged panel.











It's the fuel filler door!

[cardcrash]

Yes that's quite broken as well, the whole shell is twisted and you've even managed to comprehensively ruin the roof, it did have a tidy head lining, not anymore.

You were most fortunate to walk away from that mate. I mean really, really lucky.

See you in a couple of hours.

Yes I guess I was!

Here's the passenger seat that did come out with a little shove




As for old tyres, there's the 595's that were on the wheels at the time of the accident, but I don't have a tyre removal machine to hand although I think I do have a set of fairly good tyres that came with the car when I bought it.

As for the driver's door I haven't really taken any pictures of it but is is out of alignment suggesting the hinges are knackered at least






Somehow they're the only pictures I seem to have taken of the driver's door.

As for aches and pains and bits falling off, no, I seem to have come off a little better than the car. I have a slight red mark from the airbag burn to my wrist


P.s. Still not taking any requests for parts yet I'm afraid

[Gazmitchell]

No that's damaged as well mate, it's no longer the same shape. Charlie did a most comprehensive job of destroying the exterior.

Sill it'll yield many useful parts.

Yep as you say anything off of one of these rare motors has a value nowadays ....

[K Simmonds]

I hope that you will take the trim of doors anyway

Any thing of use will be removed.

Pretty sure the grill rings survived along with the whole grill, somewhat remarkably, though Charlie wants these parts for his LHD car...I think.

[jubjub]

Please tell me the rings of the front grill survived?

[K Simmonds]

And indeed, the interior!

It's a sign of the forces exerted on the car when you're struggling to salvage interior bits.

How are you Charlie, any aches, pains or bits falling off!?

[cardcrash]

And indeed, the interior!

[K Simmonds]

Would I be right in saying the only undamaged panel is the driver's door?
