Lucky you only hit, were hit by, one car!

Never mind, you'll have to do the sensible thing and rebuild it so it's even faster

Yes I am already looking into shells and other Mini's lol

...and why doesn't that surprise me

[miniturbonutter]

Ah so not so straight forward as someone going into the back of you then. Not good! Sounds like you were very lucky (in an unlucky manner if you get what I mean).

Take it easy for the next few days then just incase you did pull something.

We were very lucky I must admit, spinning at 60 odd across 4 lanes, over a distance of probably 150ft and only hitting one car.... we were very lucky, i would hate to think what would of happened if there was an truck and trailer beside us!

[WiredbyWilson]

sounds like a few panels but im sure it could be revived

good luck with the plans, im sure we could club in and help you fins parts for it if you go down that route

take it easy and keep us updated

I know of somewhere in Suffolk with a Hornet shell, could probably pick it up for a couple of hundred to build the Turbo into?

Only thing is I actually wouldn like it to build my own track car...

I would be so gutted if this happend to me i do feel for you! if it can't be repaired then maybe suggest a re-shell.

Just read this open-mouthed

Steve I am so gutted, your car is amazing and I can't believe it has happened to you - I'm glad you're both OK!

The Mini is badly damaged but its surprising what can be repaired, and it had no rust so I really hope it can be sorted out, if not then obviously a re-shell isn't difficult.

You definitely can't get rid of it now though, you have to rebuild it bigger and better than before

You know i said about staying a little longer to get some pics of you on the track.... I really wish i did now lol

There is a chance it could be repaired, but not with out alot of money being thrown at it. If i could weld I would do it, but not being able to is a problem.

It's ok saying it can be repaired and all but it cant without the cash and with all this credit crunch it's a bad time Lol.
Feel sorry for you man.

Josh.

[Purple Tom]

If only you had stayed

Have you considered a re-shell then, could possibly go for a heritage shell?
