Bent my FD

[logicalChimp]

I have to admit i\'m not sure whether I will be sticking with the \'rex... but more from a financial PoV - I was considering selling this year even before the accident - given the way the financial markets have gone, I suspect my bonus + savings are going to be insufficient for my house deposit, so may have to use the car to \'top up\'

still - got a while yet before I decide, and while I wait I will almost certainly be looking to frankenstein my engine+other gubbins into another shell.  It\'s then a case of whether I keep that one, or sell out

and yeah - if I do keep it, I will definitely be lookin at a traction unit.  Dunno if it would of helped much in the accident, but for peace of mind...

My bad, didn\'t really notice the front wings amongst all the rest of the mutilation! :Giggle Shame about that KS spoiler, guess they\'re even rarer now!:(

You certainly won\'t save huge sums of money by trying to make a good one out of two unless you can get a really cheap good shell. Which isn\'t soooo unlikely given the current value of these cars, people are certainly going to break them more and more as the crunch bites...

With that said, yours is a newish Rotechnics engine, isn\'t it, dude? So well worth saving if you can. With hindsight, when I frankensteined mine together, I probably ended up paying as much as I would have for a decent twin tubby at the time, but it\'s probably worth a lot less now, so the margins are a bit tighter. But I think it was worth it because it was my car and still is (both of them) :3Confusedif that makes sense.
