Crap thing to happen! hope it all gets sorted!

If you do brake it tho i would be intrested in the fuel cell

 

gutted for you mate,
never a nice thing to see,

hope the police track the other driver down!!

 

get it fixed? ,, all that work you have done gutted for ya mate,

 

This car was so nice,can understand why you can't be botherd but its a damn shame for it to end like this.

 

Its a damn shame you've decided not to fix it from your own pocket. I almost killed myself last year and damaged my car, but thought so much about it and decided to repair it. Better than before

So hope you know what you're doing...

 

if you buy it back i think you should seriously consider just locking it in the garage for a couple months and forget about it,
then when its all calmed down bring it out and decide what to do with it,
as i guarantee if you just break it straight away you will regret it at some point,
been there and got the t shirt,
right now you'll just want rid but you can change your mind in a couple months,
gutter it happened in the 1st place,
after all that work i can understand why you've had enough but thats also why you might regret chopping it later on

 

It looks well fooked on the pics.What a shaame mate.

Just put it in the garage for a few months then go back to it and reshell it.It such a shame that you have done all this hard work for nothing.

 

it wont take much to reshell, but findign another mint shell to start with will be the issue. and with the pending baby due any day, i have better things to do.

the shell wont get painted to that standard again now have all the kit blended in etc, the prep work that went into the shell was massive.

i just dont think i can be fucked with it tbh.

at the end of the day, its a car that would very rarely get used. so if i can get an all round motor that can be used for family, and quick enough for fun then maybe that is the better chioce. our family car is on its way out, so needs replacing soon. and i dont think the wife would be too happy if i came home with an elise etc lol

 

Really gutted for you mate, that car would of been my choice for one the iconic motors of the year.

 

I would defo be up for it.

 

maaate, you cant break it surly
i reckon you should buy my p100 pickup and swop all the engine over onto it and have a ropey looking sleeper that goes like stink

 

Id be able to get a few that'll be up for some rolling around with some pikey's

I fucking hate pikey's!!!

 

now breaking. see for sale sections.

 

gutted for you sir

 

Gutted for you Fudgey! Was a really nice car!

 

well, its over.

the shell was scraped off the driveway today and taken to the scrappers!

i still have a load of stuff left to sell if anyone wants anything!

 

oh mate so gutted for you what a propeley shit thing to happen, hope if ins covers the (money) losses a least

the death of something this different is such a shame

 

gutted for you mate. such a shame to lose a car so nice,that you have given your all to get it to that standard. sad times

 

cheers lads. it was fun for the 200 miles that i done in it

oh well, i have more important things in life to get on with now, so buggering about with cars is well and truely out the window now...

 

did they ever catch the toss pots that rear ended you mate

 

police interviewd them, and they of course still denied it...

but they were very well known to cops, and there was still fuck all they could do!

the other insuarance company are putting things on hold until they have seen a copy of the police report, that i thought had already been released!

so going round in circles getting nowhere at the mo mate

 

what ever happend with this ?

 

Err, it got crashed into just after passing its mot, literally 1/2 mile down the road
My insurance eventually paid out about a third for the car after 10 months
Its gone

 

All jokes a side, i think it was a bit of a blessing in disguise.
If someone crashed into my sierra though, i would be genuinley gutted.

 

yes mate, in a way it was. i started building that car a couple of years before we had our first child. original plan was a year to build but it snowballed and took 5 and half lol

i got it going one week before the birth of our second and tbh, if it was still here it would be sat in the garage having been used on probably one track day lol

so a bit of waste of time and a fuck load of money in the end

i got almost back what i personally put into the car, so i guess its not too bad overall.

thing is, the extension we are having done has also snowballed lol, the wife wanted a conservatory, i said fuck that....

if its not one thing, its another lol. still, at least the whole family etc can enjoy a much bigger house

 

Just dragged this up lol. The insurance and solicitors side of it has now finally come to and end, so providing i dont have to go to court to give evidence against the pikey cunts, this is one chapter of my life i can move on from!

Ps the house isnt that far off lol, and its not even been a year yet

 

right so mate ,its time to start building another one now this is behind you

 

building a house at the mo lol

 

Might as well delete this thread now matey.

 

Why? I still often get asked things about the car, so give people the link to the build so they can get some ideas, or answers to their questions.

So its still handy to have around

 

Oh and lat night i spent 3 hours re-reading the entire thread and reminiscing lol
