i told you you and charlie where like shake and bake you both have something missing upstairs glad you where fine just walked up with jimbo to have a watch of the track and when you didnt come back in i thought you wouldnt have been going slow

good on you for having a propper look and not just dumping it and going home

 

Gutting to see the pics of it in such a mess! The failure of the spline is perhaps due to the power steering not working at totb and from when I saw him bringing it out of the tent he was having to realy pull at the wheel to get it to turn!

I am sure he will have it fixed in not too much time!

 

thats good to hear andrew

glad you and your mate are both ok

looked awesome today

 

the main problem is that the spline is not really designed to power assisted before the rack...lasted two years thou!

 

Good news Andy mostly being panel damage, be up and back where it belongs (on track) in no time, must have been a frightner tho!

And here was me thinking possibly in for breaking, not that i want the shocks off it!

 

 

Awesome mate!



Doesnt look like ANY movement in the strut tops, will be interesting to see when you get the jig on it though.

 

fuck me how bent is the steering wheel

 

 

You certainly dont mess about Mr G.

 

it was still in 5th gear i'm pretty sure it would of stalled going across the grass

 

initial thoughts on the shell Andy?

 

I spy some Ah dry sump tankage , you buy that direct from alex andy? is it his new spec thats cleanable (splits in half)... Glad to see all is ok and fixable

 

Did you check the speed Andy?

 

yip, got two, charlie has same with custom twin scavenge

 

having issues loading the card onto the computer,, try sort it tomorrow

 

glad all is well and fixable

 

Good to see it don't look really bad, hope all is fine when it goes on the jig.

 

wicked this new spec is a great bit of kit! Top lads there, I'm VERY good mates with them so dunno if you deal alot with them but i can get discount for people so if you ever need stuff gimme a shout i'll see what i can do for you

Ad

 

will need to hit pro alloy for another cooler andrew?

 

So is majority of the parts salvagable, including the new engine and the actual frame of the car repairable Andy?

 

HH-MS one is quite well regarded.

 

i honestly cant beleave the strut tops havent moved.well visually anyway.not as bad as i first thought when i saw the initial post.

 

Looks alot better at the min hopefully all is good

 

Sux that this car was hit but.........

Looks like it will be the best advert for your competition shell/cage services you could have imagined

Walked away bruised? You owe your welder a pint or 20

Hope you get it back up and running i've followed this car from new and I love it

Glad your not injured this could so easily be a very different thread

 

glad you seem happy enough with the damage and it is fixable,still a bit of money though to sort it out.

it will live on though.

 

Doesn't look to bad at all since the panels are off, glad you're getting it sorted Andy

 

Bloody well built indeed I honestly thought it was a lot worse, top workmanship gona into this throughout.

 

doesn't seem to look too bad Andy

How's Tommy? Has he stopped shaking yet, LOL

Looks like you's will be busy for a few weeks but you've got till september before your racing so no rush

Hows your other half too? She looked a bit upset and shook up or was that the hangover after all the aftershocks her and Claire were necking?? Claire was rough all day till about 4pm so never drove home as she promised

 

glad you are alright. mob rule it only takes one twat to turn about 50 into pricks..

typical vaux part.

 

Yep, the vauxhall bit of the setup was typically reliable

 

Hope you aren't too sore today Andy!

 

Having watched him and his boys at TOTB i bet he hasnt been to bed the car is probably ready for paint,
Sorry to hear about this Andy
Hope all goes well
The main thing is your ok.

 

Looks a pretty easy repair Andy

 

glad to hear your ok Mr Ag, didn't see the crash but i heard it, after seeing this i definitely think ill be installing a roll cage next.

legendary machine

 

With your skills looks like it will be back together in no time, glad you and the new engine are ok. Apart from that B-pillar it all looks mainly panel damage - strong car!

 

Does anybody else get a similar feeling of this car and story following that of the Stian Hafsengen escort WRC? Lets hope for a good rebuild and then a brilliant return at an event!

 

glad you are Ok Andy, looks like the car stood upto it pretty well

 

Glad to hear your ok Andy, was over at the 0 - 60 when i saw your car coming in on the back of a recovery truck and that was the first i had known of he crash, couldnt believe it!!

Thanks for the show you and Charlie put on yesterday was great viewing, got loads of pics of both of you + all the other top Ford, will post later.

Look forward to seeing your report on the car and the fix.

James.

 

Firstly Andrew glad you just walked away .
My son told me about this a friend at FF sent him a picture just after it had happened. Best of luck with the rebuild Andrew, it looks like the you know what will be waiting on you & not me. The most extreme Ford around will be back im sure.
Regards Rod
