Any way i see a mk1 nova is now needed for the let to be chucked in :)
Been said - but your both OK, thats the main thing!
Immensely frustrating though! I am assuming the boost issue was sorted then!:)
i'd have punched her in the face.
btw, any free shell donation to you gen?
yeah mate from what i can gather the fuel relay was flicking off during boost?Quote:

thats a mess :(
maybe if the fast and furious boost gauge/rev limiter wasnt in the way you'd of seen her lol
the cabin looks in a good way tho luckily, normallly the whole nova bends quite badly
Sorry to see that in such a mess.
Has the women/idiot admitted it was her fault then ?
Have to agree, more speed and the car might have folded up, can already see the roof bending in and the door frames must of changed shape too.Quote:

How the hell did the clio get that far down there though?!
Shame ya crashed mate, all that time and hard graft building the car is lost but you'll still have loads to salvage from it. When I crashed mine about the only thing worth salvaging was the engine and some other small bits :(
oh dude :cry:
looks a right mess, but the bay took 99% of it by the looks of it, is the engine salvageable?
Thats proper fooked!
Did you get any witness's? Always the first thing to do with a shunt!
nobby, huge volvo i.c here mate, pm me re: price, and ill sort you some extra stuff out. is there anything else you will need?:thumb:
Ow! :(
Here's hoping she takes the blame mate!
oh and its designed to fold/crumple, remember crash tests are done a t 30 mph into a stationary object, not 2 moving ones at 40+.
the roof will kink as thats where thestresses get fed into the b pillars of the shell. its all physics.
fuk me!!!!!!!! what a mess. gutted. if i can help in anyway with parts i will.
**** me thats a mess hope your all ok though!! gutted for you though dude!!
cheers guys spoke 2 my insurance ive got personal injury claim for me and my gf and a courtesy car in the pipeline. We will have to see what happens
well i hope you get it sorted bud such a shame!
dude, list up what bits you will need and i'm sure the guys on here will help as much as poss. :thumb:
i'll do you a huge volvo 740 intercooler and a load of 76mm pipes for £30. see my project thread for pics.
much appreciated pal i gona go and see what bits i can salvage it ripped the hub off so guna need some outer cv joints if the shafts ok lol and the just gotaa see if me manifolds and turbo is ok etc need a engine mount though oh and a new car :(Quote:

Ouch. Crumpled well though, but its a lot of mash for 40
And people wonder why I hover over the brake when I see people at junctions lol
Yer its something i found i do nearly every junctionQuote:
