Very Cool.

I may have found my new Avatar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Is that 914 driver/owner on our site somewhere?

Any static images of his car, drive-train, roll-cage, etc?

BTW - are there anymore links for the Alfa build?

There is no other video about this Alfa. I generally link to videos that have been posted on youtube a few hours or days ago and no "part two" has been posted.

I think the owner of the 914 is member "Moggy". He has already posted on the forum. Unfortunatelly I remember he crashed the car and didn't finish this season.

Hey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) thanks for posting Johannes

I've not seen that before. I remember the interview though, it was a day before I crashed into the telegraph pole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) A shame they only seemed to include clips of corners which I messed up, thanks for including one that I got right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Car's all back together now ready for the 2012 season, ready to kick some more ass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Anything is easy to fix as long as you have the right parts, sufficient motivation and will power to get it done and (really important in this case) the right tools.

You want pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I GOT pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Before the rally, all ready with good intentions to beat some Ford Escort and 911 butt...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600335.1.jpg)

Was going well in 2nd or 3rd in class I think it was until a mistake in the notes caused me to enter into a corner wayyyy too fast ....

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600336.2.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600336.3.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600336.4.jpg)

I hit the telegraph pole so hard it sheared a 4foot section off (embedded in the car) and the rest of the telegraph pole remained in Ireland

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600336.5.jpg)

If the relevant body strengthening and roll cage weren't in place the car would have looked like a banana (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) wrapped around the pole (and me looking like a squashed tomato (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) )

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600337.6.jpg)

then we started the strip down to see if it was repairable


(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600337.7.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600337.8.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600337.9.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600338.10.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600338.11.jpg)

The shunt had essentially pushed the drivers side suspension points back by quite some inches and shifted the whole of the front over to the left by a few degrees. The cage and safety cell were all intact which meant that it could be repaired with a body jig and a new front end (including various other little bits and bobs). The biggest pain in the butt was trying to get the fuel tank out that was crushed into place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The strip down....

The rebuild....

The dozer..

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600340.18.jpg)

after the front right had the initial pull out

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600340.19.jpg)


The new front cut out of an old car that was never going to get back on the road again.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600340.20.jpg)

welded into place

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600340.21.jpg)

cut out for the wide wing

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600341.22.jpg)

luckily the old metal wide wing could be beaten back into shape and re-used

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600341.23.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600341.24.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600341.25.jpg)


a little bit of additional strengthengin welded in place (bottom left)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600342.26.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600342.27.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600342.29.jpg)


and here we are all painted up and ready to have it's clothes put back on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1325600343.30.jpg)

Was it easy? NO

Was it worth it? YES

Am I going to back out this year to kick some more butt in the name of 914? DEFINETLY (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Thanks Johannes for reminding me of that painful moment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) always make me giggle when I hear that thud a second after the impact when the telegraph pole falls on to the roof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

My co-driver lost the notes a few times during that stage, which as it was damp/wet/slippy in unexpected places you can hear me coming off the throttle at strange moments. You can also hear the hesitation on the throttle just entering the corner of the crash as the co-driver called a 1 right (meaning a slight right that can be taken flat out) but at I was very close to the corner I thought... "that don't look like no 1 right" - how right I was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
