if i was in another one, pray to god it doesnt happen, id prefer to be in a bug thats straight, rust free in the turret and has inertia belts but thats just me. i like my steel to be thicker than it is in newer cars.

My first reaction to that pic was that a telegraph pole fell onto the roof or something. it looks brutal!

Hey barls good news!! Congrats :thumb

Lot's of pics now of the new project please 😎

Thought I'd already posted here..but not...Ouch about your old ride...hope you didn't get too hurt in it...

It's looks a good project for a chopped top 🙂

...guess with all the work ahead of you you won't be making member of the day so often 😉

p.s. sorry went back and looked at the pics...forget the chop top..do you have any salvagable panels on the old one 🙁

How many times did it roll? :jesus

Narsty looking smash. Glad you're OK.
You said you 'blacked out'. I bet you 'came to' pretty quick.

i got it wrong about the body i did get one but it isnt a 15 million that one is being restored by my old man and flogged off. but it is to be rebuilt. most of the car is straight from the dash down.
