a crash is one thing but finding you have no steering at over a ton must be a brown trouser moment

panels are mostly stipped off already, i'm sure it won't be long till it's back together, chassis is intact at least.

the strut bent , mainly because it landed side onto it and it was on full droop so the strut was only in the can a couple of inches,, i have spares so sent them all to Aurok for a service

Iv been following this for a long time, i heard your acident happen on sunday, glad to see your alright !

i had a look around your motor and as bad as it looked mostly i thought was cosmetic ect, nice to see i was almost right !!

seriously your one lucky bugger though, you must feel damn proud to say you have built that motor, good luck in the repair mate.

How good would it be to have that as a full bolt on bolt off setup to fit standard cossie mounting points. Much better and modern then any radius arm setup

The problem is the rear struts/hubs, that is where the money is.

Ah fair enough mate.

Yes in principle it would be awesome, just likely to be quite a few grand I suspect!

You also need to take into account the top shock mount becomes fully load bearing too though, so would still need that welding up to re-enforce it IMHO

Im of the opinion that you do need to, you only have to look at the hammering that sierra front strut tops take when you fit harder suspension to see that, and they are MEANT to be load bearing, so sod trusting a bit that isnt meant to be in the first place!
