cracking how peeps are donating, it would be heartbreaking but then for so many to help out would certainly give you a boost.

Gutted for you Jodie. Obviously heard about this. Saw them hiab'ing the cars out this morning. Didn't see yours, just saw a mini and a stag?

You must be devastated. Hope you decide to build another one.

Without trying to work out what you have and havent got , maybee do a list of parts you still need and that way you wont get stuff twice and miss stuff you do need

I dont have much RST stuff left but please let me know what your short of and if i have it your welcome to it

Good luck with the rebuild fella

And a big well done to everyone who has offered parts and help , this is exactly what the RS scene is all about and its been a long time since i have been proud to be a part of it , and this effort has reminded me what can be done by people who have the same passion

well done fellas
