Back on the road in 3 weeks! New chassis legs and engine bay floors etc, rear spring hangers as they had twisted and ALL the suspension was replaced. A few new body panels and an acro-prop later and she was near enough back in shape!!
Had the geometry checked out before using her again and it was closer than before the accident
Drove her for another 2 years before i gave her a rest!

More like a tractor!
Ploughed through a 3ft bank before she came to rest where you see her!
She had a hawthorn bush stuck through the radiator with a 2" diameter trunk
I drove her out of the field after she was back on her wheels (thanks to a passing HIAB lorry driver!) and thought that the field was roughly ploughed, but when i got to the other side i realised that the drivers side wheel was so heavily compressed against the wheel arch that it was flat at the side (9 o clock position) rather than the bottom
