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

On the contrary i would say only a very skilfull driver could have hit that lampost exactly where he aimed for at 70mph when trying to rid himself of that shed

how the fuck do you fix that though when roof and A pillar are fucked? Was it a reshell? Even then the shell must need modded big style? Fair play though its very different anyways

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.
