I owned it when the feature was written and the photo's taken but i let the last owner say it was still his Even told the journo that i already hated it and it might appear on ebay soon and he put that in the mag
The feature came out after i had had my knock

Whatever you get make sure they are the right offset!
I think Martoon must have stitched me on that passenger front Comp MO as the offset looks way off
Those MO's had only been on 2 hours and 1 mile before the smack

chop - you dont try to fix shunts like that.

Simple repair, cut the roof off and weld on a new one from another car. Done it on my 205 rally car after a big roll.
