All in the name of testing Christian......







At least the Strut, TCA or tie bar didn't bend

For what its worth I'd say the top wheel is fixable, I have seen Ian work some magic

As said, to a pro repair shop it's not bad. How much it'll cost is another thing

That set of Ronals with that bent wheel has been knocking around for ages now! I'm sure I saw that same wheel for sale 3 years ago!
