It was my car. i have had a lot of kind comments from alot of people. I am fucking wrecked at the moment. if the insurance plays the game then with the help of some very good friends from the derbyshire RSOC and i'm also lucky that my best friend has got his own bodyshop(LW Sart repairs). and numerous other very good friends that have pledged thier help to have my car back on the road. better than before(hard to do) But i am determined to get it back on the road more than ever. I have just heard that there is a chance that it may not be allowed to be repaired because of the toxins in the water that the fire service used to put her out. has anyone ever heard of this?

gutted for ya lad, an all out mega repair and turnaround would be the best cure. and i wouldnt aim to have it to the same big spec, just get it going and modify after, would be easier

Just saw the pics,Hope to god your insurance pays out at least some of the value,it looked fcuking mint m8,such a shame.if they pay,bite the bullet and rebuilt it bigger and better than before,its the only way youl pull through it IMO.
keep ya chin up fella,you did us all proud,and am sure you will again.

dont know about the water but the rubbers used on the car can release acids that you cannot get off once you have it on you, or so i have been told anyway
