Default A COUPLE OF MY CRASH PICS!

As people wanted to see them, thought id get a couple, now remember when you see these that we have allready lifted the roof out with a falk lift as it woz only 2 FOOT from the base of the seat, and we couldnt get in the motor.
the rear of the car woz almost ripped off as you can see by one of the pics with a plit going accross the car...
ive got some with the roof down on my phone

by the way... that aint me in the pics

one BEFORE........



and AFTER!!!







and the split!

Nasty mess, as others have said you were lucky to get out of that.

That split is SO a sign of a Cut & Shut.

you where lucky to walk away from that one looks like the seam has been cut with a saw,rather than ripped apart,unless the spot welds were no good? bit confusing that one as long as you are ok,the car can be replaced.
