    Was just very lucky with how it landed across the ridges of the field. The wings just need a few fibreglass repairs nothing too serious.

    Nice to see a well built car be used and abused as it should, not just parked up.

    A lot of fun to be had bringing it back to how you once had it

    Such a shame really but im sure with what you have done to it to build it that repairing it will take you no time .

    Its a sad sight to see it like that. I would keep the steel roof. carbon/kevlar is nice but look swrinkely over time. Steel keeps straight, unless you roll over . Good luck with the repairs.

    Well you've christened it Hamish! Good to hear you and your passenger got out without a scratch. It's just shows how well you've built it. Be good to see it in action again soon. Loving the drifts and big smoke.

    Hi Ray that sounds perfect. I will try ringing you again later. I dont think its going to save much weight with it being such a small roof on the swb. Will be quicker to get it back in use with the steel roof.

    No pictures of it before it was pushed back over, it landed on its side.

    Lucky by the looks of it. Got any pics of it on its roof or were you lucky enough to land it back on its wheels?

    you have pm

    hi i still have the roof for sale , but it is a normal lwb roof, may be nows the time to fit a kevlar roof ,thats what we did after a almost identicle roll on a rally with hardly any side panel damage, in fact the worst bit was rolling it back on its wheels . ray also save apprx 7kg . glad you are both ok,

    Not good to see, but doesn't look too bad to sort and should be too hard to source the bits you require.

    Feeling a little stiff today but a lot better than yesterday! Got the car home today and back into the garage. 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



    Door and roof damage



    Started stipping the inside. I bent the steering shaft with my legs.



    Windows out to have a look at the roof



    Some pictures from a fella that came down to watch



    My old fella getting a drive of it, 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 back over took some pulling out!
